Move aimed at reformation and rehabilitation, allows convicts to live with family
Soon,
Maharashtra’s largest central Jail the Yerawada Central Jail is going to be equipped with an open prison colony for women.
Home minister Dilip
Walse-Patil on Saturday visited the central jail and announced the setting up of an open prison for women, which is currently missing in the jail.
The Yerawada jail has an open prison for male prisoners, but it is not a colony where the prisoner can live with his family or children.

The Maharashtra prison department plans to set up a multi-storeyed facility in Mumbai that can accommodate up to 5,000 inmates to ease the pressure on Arthur Road Jail there which is crowded and offers no scope for expansion, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Additional Director General of Police (Prisons) Sunil Ramanand said the prison being envisaged will be on the lines of the Miami Correction Facility in the United States of America to tide over the acute paucity of land in the metropolis. The Women and Child Welfare department in Chembur has agreed to give us a 15-acre plot. If we get this land, we can build a multi-storeyed prison. Arthur Road Jail is overcrowded and cannot be expanded any further, he said.
