Originally established as Chonburi Central Prison for male inmates, the facility transitioned in 2017 to serve as a women’s correctional institution. Located in Chonburi Province, it is the primary correctional facility for female inmates in Thailand’s Eastern region. The institution spans approximately 23 acres and accommodates up to 2,047 female inmates.

Chonburi Women’s Correctional Institution is recognized as a model for implementing the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders, commonly referred to as the Bangkok Rules. The institution focuses on promoting rehabilitation through various vocational training programs, including Thai massage, beauty services, bakery, food preparation, laundry, garment repair, and handicrafts. These programs aim to equip inmates with practical skills that support their reintegration into society and reduce the risk of reoffending. In partnership with Nicecall Public Company Limited, the institution launched a telesales project on January 4, 2024, offering job opportunities to female inmates. The project currently employs 88 inmates as telesales representatives, allowing them to promote various products and services through telephone sales. This initiative provides inmates with valuable work experience, preparing them for stable careers after release.

Through its comprehensive rehabilitation programs, Chonburi Women’s Correctional Institution strives to create a secure and supportive environment where inmates can develop essential skills and professional expertise, enabling their successful reintegration into society as responsible and skilled individuals.
