We are going to remove the wire

"The existing jail manual was prepared in British regime and we need to change those stringent and somewhat inhuman rules, For instance, why should a prisoner meet his family members with a wire mesh in between. "When people are lodged in jail other than their home districts, it becomes difficult for families to visit them frequently. There are 2,149 prisoners who are more than 60 years old and about 1,200 prisoners have crossed the age of 80.. The numbers will be verified and call details maintained to prevent misuse of the facility. These children are being deprived of education and we will make provision for their education," he said. Prisoners will also be allowed to meet their visitors three times a week instead of twice a week and the meeting hours will be extended from the present two hours to four hours. We are starting this facility for elderly inmates from the end of this month," the minister said. UP minister for prisons Balwant Singh Ramoowalia has decided to do away with the 121-year-old jail manual and make life easier for jail inmates. Parole is also going to be easier and more convenient. If the district magistrate or the district police chief concerned do not clear a parole request within a stipulated time frame of two or three months, it will be deemed they have no objections to parole of the particular inmate. "These children are staying with their https://www.ferrotitanium.net/product/high-titanium-iron/ mothers who are serving a sentence because no family member is willing to take their responsibility. Jail inmates will also be provided with PCO facilities but under specified conditions. We are going to remove the wire mesh and allow the inmates to embrace and hug their families," he told this correspondent. Elderly prisoners, from the end of this month, will be shifted to jails in their home districts so as to enable them greater interaction with their families. Under the proposed new manual, inmates will be allowed to call one or two particular numbers, related to their family members, that they furnish at the time of entering the jail.Jails in Uttar Pradesh, often home to politicians, are now preparing to see better days. The minister also plans to make proper arrangements for the education of 428 children who are staying with their mothers in the jails. Most of them are ailing and bed ridden and the minister plans to take up the matter with the courts and ensure their release.
