Cambodia Scraps Pay-to-Stay ‘Hotel’ Prison Plans
Published on: Wednesday 10 July 2019
The Cambodian government is abolishing a controversial “hotel” prison project, according to Ministry of Interior officials.
The government had announced earlier this month that it would soon open the new prison facilities, in which inmates can pay to stay. The facilities are said to be more comfortable than the regular cells at prison Prey Sar, which have been criticized for being severely overcrowded.
