Bang Kwang Central Prison (Thai: บางขวาง ) is a men's prison in Nonthaburi Province, Thailand, located at the Chao Phraya River about 7 miles north of Bangkok.
The prison houses many foreign prisoners. It is a harsh prison which handles death row and long-sentence prisoners. All prisoners are required to wear leg irons for the first three months of their sentences. Death row inmates have their leg irons permanently welded on.
In the book The Damage Done former prisoner Warren Fellows recounts that the prison was nicknamed "Big Tiger" by the Thais because it "prowled and ate". Paul Hayward served part of his sentence here.
Internal policies
Prisoners receive one bowl of red rice in vegetable soup each day. Other food must be purchased from the prison canteen. The prison works on a chit system. Each prisoner has an account with the canteen. Poor prisoners do chores for wealthier prisoners and prison guards to earn money for food. Some British prisoners receive extra money per month from charities. The British Embassy also provides food and vitamins for their prisoners. Prisoners are provided with cooking facilities and gas for the stoves is provided by the prison.
