Expansion Program
Fountain Pen Drawing  2016.11.14.

Witnessing the expansion construction of the prison is counted a lifetime experience. The progress of the construction - drainage digging and ground preparation - outside of the walls is clearly made in just one day. The progress inside the walls is even more obvious - trees are all chopped within one day, which demonstrates a miraculous efficiency. 

The construction plaque of the public project that is displayed out front of the site declares the cost to be NT$333,000,000 (US$11.1 million) versus the total expansion budget of more than NT$580,000,000 (US$19.3 million). The expected completion is at the end of next year for an increased capacity of 1,080 more people. Such a spectacular affair is hard to come by. Time-lapse photography would have been a right way to document it. What a pity. It’d have served the purpose of both documenting and disclosing to the public how a 600-million construction project looks like. 

能親眼目睹監獄擴建工程,也算是人生難得的經驗,圍牆外的工地從挖溝整地一天就可以看出成績,圍牆這頭更不用講,樹可以在一天內砍光,效率可用奇蹟來形容。
有這麼難得又壯觀的事,總覺得沒有縮時攝影很可惜,除了紀錄之外,也能讓納稅人明白333000000元的工程到底長什麼樣子。
ps.333000000元數據來自工地外公共工程告示牌,總花費5億8000多萬,預計明年底完工後,可多容納1080人。
