The Khao Phraik Agricultural and Industrial Correctional Institution, established in 2003, located in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Spanning over 200 acres, it is one of Thailand's largest medium-security facilities, designed to house male inmates serving sentences of up to 15 years. The institution emphasizes rehabilitation through agricultural development and vocational training.
The institution focuses on equipping inmates with essential skills and professional expertise to reintegrate into society as productive and responsible members. It integrates agricultural practices into rehabilitation programs, promoting self-sufficiency, personal growth, and sustainability. Inmates are trained in modern farming techniques, cultivating a variety of crops such as corn, rice, durian, vegetables, and fruits. Inspired by Thailand’s sufficiency economy philosophy, the institution blends innovative farming methods with traditional wisdom to foster sustainability. Vocational programs, including "Cook & Coff @ Khao Phraik," provide hands-on training in baking, cooking, and café management, preparing inmates for future careers and reintegration into the community.
