PHUKET – A snap inspection of the cells and inmates at Phuket Provincial Prison just after dawn this morning (October 29) revealed no drugs or illegal items, allowing the facility to keep its “white prison” status for another few months.

Led by Phuket Governor Nisit Jansomwong, officials at 6am began their inspection of the 2,870 male and female inmates, their cells, lockers and the infirmary, as well as random drug tests on some of the inmates, all of which were negative.
