A distinctive example of reform and rehabilitation has emerged from Gorakhpur district jail. A woman gangster lodged there is training other women prisoners as beauticians. Once linked to the world of crime, the woman is now helping other inmates become self-reliant by teaching them a skill inside the jail. The training could give women an opportunity to start employment after they come out of prison.
Meanwhile, another woman lodged in jail in connection with an alleged fraud of around Rs 12 crore is taking responsibility for teaching children. She teaches the children living in the jail so that their education is not affected. In this way, education and skill development activities are being conducted inside the prison.
Officials of the Basic Education Department are also involved in the initiative. The District Basic Education Officer (BSA) gives children necessary suggestions for studies, a better future and career development. The effort is to encourage children toward education and help them move ahead according to their abilities.
The objective of these activities by the jail administration is to bring positive change among prisoners, develop their skills and keep children’s education going.
