• Pardon Pardons are usually granted on feasts or independence days. • Hygiene Soap is supplied every two weeks. Uniforms are also supplied by the State. Tap water is available, both within and outside the cells. • Recreation The inmates play games as well as football. • Rehabilitation Financial constraints resulting in lack of equipment and tools have prevented the establishment of workshops for the inmates. The Superintendent in charge has, however, commendably marshalled resources from within the prison, including the staff to set up a poultry farm manned by some of the inmates. Of the 500 birds, they had lost 75. The enterprise started from tailoring; and an account had now been opened for it. • Juvenile No section of the prison is for juveniles. An uncompleted building, said to have been constructed by the inmates, was pointed out as intended to house juveniles. • Problem Lack of vehicle was a serious problem for the prison. Visit to cells and private meeting with inmate Some cells had mosquito nets while other were yet to have them. Many inmates did not have mattresses; and quite a number of them did not sleep on boards. Not all inmates had uniforms; and some of those who had were in tatters. They corroborated what Superintendent Klu said on food (number of times fed and kind of food served); soap (supplied fortnightly); and health (doctors visit the prison). But they also had complaints. The families of some of the inmates were not aware of their imprisonment. Convicts have better facilities than those on remand. The latter are not allowed into the open although they may play football occasionally. Cigarettes confiscated from remand prisoners are given to convicts. The punishment cell was in use; and one inmate spent a month there without blanket and a single bath. He was made to roll on the ground and then dumped into the punishment cell. Remand prisoners caught with cigarettes are severely beaten. 14
