The Bangkok Corrections Museum in Maha Chai Road preserves gruesome aspects of Thai prison history and the brutal prison life before reforms were made to the penal system.曼谷更正博物馆在马哈柴道保留了可怕的方面，泰国监狱的历史和残酷的监狱生活之前，改革作出了刑法制度。

It's located on the site of a former Bangkok maximum security prison built in 1890, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) after a study visit to the prisons in Singapore.它位于该网站的前曼谷高度设防监狱建于1890年，统治期间国王朱拉隆功（国王拉玛五）后，研究访问该监狱在新加坡举行。

The ground floor of Block 1 in the Bangkok Corrections Museum where our tour starts, features photographs of the old prison compound and the process of demolition.该座地下一，在曼谷更正博物馆，我们的旅行团开始，特点的照片，旧监狱大院和的过程中拆卸。 There's a scaled model of the old prison compound then and the park and museum now, a stark contrast.有一个缩比模型旧监狱复合，然后和公园及博物馆，现在，一个鲜明的对比。

Blocks 2 & 3 of the Bangkok Corrections Museum are a pleasant reprieve from the mock execution chambers.大厦2 ＆ 3的曼谷更正博物馆是一个愉快的缓刑从模拟执行庭。 These blocks exhibit furniture and handicraft, of a high quality, made by prisoners from all over the Thailand.这些大厦展出的家具和手工艺品，一个高品质，是由囚犯提出，来自全国各地的泰国。 The items are for sale.该项目出售。

The last stop in the Bangkok Corrections Museum is through the gate in the old prison wall fronting Rommani Nart Park.最后一站，在曼谷更正博物馆是透过门在旧监狱围墙面向鲁马尼nart公园。 Block 9 is a preserved two-story cellblock in the old prison compound, not a place for the fainted-hearted.九座是一个保存两层楼高的牢房，在旧监狱的化合物，而不是一个地方，为晕倒心。

Sharpened bamboo sticks driven by a mallet under the nails of prisoners whose hands are fixed in wooden vices…………激化竹棒驱动一槌下钉囚犯的双手固定在木制的罪恶… … … …

In 1908, as part of penal reforms, King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) abolished all these barbarous tortures.在1908年，由于部分刑法改革，国王朱拉隆功（国王拉玛五）取消所有这些野蛮的折磨。

The pleasant Rommani Nart Park today belies the horrors of the prison it replaced.愉快的鲁马尼nart公园今天belies的恐怖监狱取代。 Old men sit and watch the day go by as teenagers engage in robust ball games.老年男性坐视一天去，因为青少年在从事强劲的球类比赛。 The torture and sufferings in past prison life seemed so distant, preserved only in the Bangkok Corrections Museum.酷刑和痛苦，在过去的监狱生活似乎很遥远，保存，只有在曼谷更正博物馆。
