JAIL RADIO
To connect the Inner consciousness (Present in Prison) to the Physical being (Present outside
Prison) today Sri Aurobindo Society established first ever Jail Radio in South India in
Central Prison Pondicherry. It will be a recreational and reformation initiative, the inmates
who want to showcase their talent like singing, poetry recitation, storytelling and experience
sharing can do through this Jail radio. Jail Radio will keep the inmates and the Jail staff updated
on the happenings of the outside world. Jail radio will be a source of entertainment in the leisure
hours when they are alone in the cells and feel depressed, this will keep them engaged. Sri
Aurobindo Society will connect the families of the inmates in a two-way communication
through pre-recorded messages/songs/poems/information.
The Chief Operating Officer of State Bank of India MF personally visited to inaugurate the Jail
Radio, He was so impressed with the Auro Model Prison Project that on the spot he sponsored
a Hi-Tech gym and Rs 1 lakh for the jail Library.
