The United Nations (UN) urged governments to release some of their prisoners amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This was done to curb the spread of the disease. This is because detention facilities in many countries are overcrowded, and inmates are at high risk of contracting the coronavirus.

Thailand has the highest number of prisoners in ASEAN, with 374,042 inmates. Indonesia follows with 270,387 prisoners.

The release of some prisoners has caused controversy in society, particularly in Indonesia. Some prisoners who were released have re-offended, causing public concern due to a rise in criminal activities such as theft and robbery.
