JAIL AGRICULTURAL RETAIL SHOP

The life of prison does not have to be empty from hopes. To punish does not mean to enforce

punishments. Auro Model Prison is all about aspiring for a reformed future with rehabilitative

approach. Auro Model Prison and Central jail Pondicherry have opened ‘Jail Shop’ which sell the
products made by inmates of the Pondicherry Central Jail Prison. This is an effort where the prisoners

follow a path through their inspiring talent that is premised on dignity and New Hope for a better
future.

There are fruits and vegetables grown with the help of ‘Natural and Conscious farm’. This Jail

shops gives the farm produce and other Home décor items at a highly subsidized rates to the families
of the Inmates, Jail staff and the Police staff deputed in the Prison. The freedom to harness the creative

abilities of the inmates in a disciplined manner as they go about serving their sentences within the
confines of a jail is certainly profound and needs to be extolled.
