New Sentencing (Narcotics Act 2021)
As we announced in a post in January 2022, Thailand Bail is now accepting requests for new sentencing under the Narcotics Act of 2021, which is also known as the Narcotics Act 2564. Please read our post about the new drug law in Thailand here: http://www.thailandbail.com/new-drug-law-in-thailand-2021/
Next Steps for Getting a New Sentence Under the New Drug Law in Thailand
After reading the post above, you will want to contact our legal team for more details. If your family member was sentenced before December 2021, it is important to apply for re-consideration. However, this is not just a simple application. If you are advised to file a simple application, your family member or friend is not likely to receive much of a benefit. Instead, it is important to have a full review of the case details and have a law firm with experience in getting positive results for drug cases in Thailand, like Thailand Bail has proven to be, to write and file the application.
Details from the Thai Department of Corrections
The authority for all things related to prisons in Thailand is the Department of Corrections. The Department of Corrections is based in Nonthaburi, Thailand, which is just outside Bangkok. We have frequent contact with the Thai Department of Corrections and would like to refer you to the official website here, which also provided a post in English language: Thailand Department of Corrections Announcement about Re-Sentencing Under the New Drug Law
How Many Years Will the New Law Save?
The new drug law in Thailand has the potential to reduce penalties by decades. Yes, that is correct. Your family member or friend could see their 50-year prison sentence reduced to 10 years or less. If you consider the amnesty and prison reduction regulations in Thailand, this could provide a much better result.
