On October 1, 2024, N.S. Kornkanok, also known as “Mae Tak,” was received at the Central Women’s Correctional Institution along with N.S. Kanthapol, known as “Pa Beer,” after being taken from the Criminal Court. Kornkanok underwent a health check and was found to be in normal condition. However, upon settling in, she experienced significant stress and difficulty sleeping on her first night in prison, leading her to request anxiety medication.
Initially, Kornkanok was able to eat and drink normally, but her mental state deteriorated in the evening, showing signs of sadness and crying at times. Despite this, she refrained from discussing her feelings with other new inmates. As for Kanthapol, he seemed to handle his first night better, sleeping soundly and showing no significant issues or requests.
Kornkanok was allowed to bring anxiety medication into the facility, although there was no medical certificate confirming any depression. The prison administration scheduled her to meet with psychologists and a general practitioner to monitor her health. Family visits are permitted only after the completion of a 5-day COVID-19 quarantine.
Kanthapol, on the other hand, has a pre-existing health condition, which the officials chose not to disclose, but he was similarly permitted to bring his medication and scheduled for health checks. Both inmates are currently considered to be in good health, but they will be monitored closely for any changes.
