National Police chief Pol General Priewpan Damapong yesterday proposed the construction of a prison on an island, especially for drug dealers as it would be easier to control and prevent them from continuing their drug dealing from behind bars.

Priewpan said he was discussing his idea with senior officials. The facility should be equipped with a phone signal blocking system.
