A Thai man was released from an Indonesian prison this week after spending an extra three years behind bars due to a typographical error in his paperwork. Kamjai Khong Thavorn, 53, was to be released in 2007 after completing a 20-year term for heroin possession, but the typo wrongly recorded his sentence as starting in 1997 rather than 1987. Kamjai was released after he informed Indonesia's justice minister of the error during a chance meeting on the minister's tour of the maximum security prison in central Java. (AP, April 9)
