inmates. A huge difference in the behaviour was noticed in few of the inmates. Psychiatrist is

both a way of understanding human behaviour and of helping people with their emotional

difficulties and personal problems.

➢ PEDAGOGY

The group session was held with 4 prisoners on 3rd march in kalapet jail, Puducherry at
3:00 PM for 1.5 hours. They were specifically called for the session as their release had been

cancelled by the government and their state of mind was disturbed more than usual.

The session started with a brief introduction of everyone. The main purpose of the session
was to build rapport and make sense of the current state of these inmates and also, to provide

them a space where they could vent out and express their thoughts and feelings.
