JAIL DARBAR

➢ PEDAGOGY

Jail Darbar was formed with the intention of bridging the communication gap between
the jail administration / authorities and the inmates. An open discussion is held on regular basis

where IG prisons, Head of prison reformation project from Sri Aurobindo society,
Superintendent of police and all the inmates are present. They engage in an open discussion

about every minor and major issue that the prisoners face in the prison.

It seems crucial to gain a better understanding of how prison sentences affect inmates,

and to examine ways to promote their rehabilitation and re-integration into social and economic

life. It seems even more important to build a platform for both the prisoners and administration
to come together to discuss openly without any delays.

➢ OUTCOME

All the minor problems bought up by the prisoners were solved on the spot. All the

inmates felt safe and comfortable to share their issues. They expressed their gratitude to the jail

administration and SAS for quick solutions to their problems.
