MUMBAI: Security has been beefed up at all the 22 temporary prisons (and five Covid centres for prisoners) in the state after three prisoners, who were arrested for theft and assault, attempted to cut window grill and flee from a temporary prison in Byculla where they were being treated for Covid.
The jail administration has stopped admitting new inmates directly into the jail because of the surge in Covid cases during this second wave. When an accused is sent by the court to jail, he/she is first taken to a temporary prison and tested. Once the result is negative, the prisoner is sent to regular jail. However, if a prisoner tests positive, he/she is treated at the temporary prison before being shifted to regular jail.
