Inmates Of Sanganer Open Prison Poem by Rajnish Manga

Inmates Of Sanganer Open Prison

Rating: 4.5


They are prisoners- men and women
Most of them are murder convicts
Having completed two third of their terms
already in closed prisons now shifted
to this open prison for remaining period
Many of them employed outside of prison
A part of the prison is now converted into
Family section where male and female prisoners
Who were married to each other here itself
They live together as husband and wife
Living moderately in a single room house-
Where Fridge and TV can also be seen
Corrugated iron sheets cover their heads
Effort is on to have more of such prisons
With no locked gates or armed guards
Surprisingly, the prisoners like to stay on
Even after completion of their jail terms.

This is commendable for deserving prisoners... but we also have privileged prisons for the powerful politicians.. and moneybags...

Yes, that is there. Even in Tihar Jail at New Delhi, there have been reports of drug and drink parties, of mobile phones in the possession of certain inmates. We are all aware of reports of VIP treatment given to V K Sasikala during her incarceration in Bangalore central jail and many more.

Prisoners are amazingly noticed and expressed in this poem. Although they are convicts and they have got punishment, still they are emotionally attached while they have started living there becoming social persons. This poem gives an astonishing notion to the readers. Thank you very much for sharing this...10

I am happy to learn about the Sanganer Prison and the state of the prisoners there. 'Surprisingly, the prisoners like to stay on Even after completion of their jail terms' - this, I think, is a success story of the prison authority.
