Hello Wendell, May be the Goa Govt should learn from the Thane Central Prison. Here they have to work in sections of their choice e.g. Bakery, Flour Milling, Textile Dept, Carpentry, Jail Kitchen, Housekeeping within the Jails, Administration etc. Only Under Trials are not given that much of work. Regarding the food, there are laid down defined quantities of food [in grams] that they are entitled to as specified in the Jail Manuel. I met one Sr. Jane who is working with prisoners many years back at a prison ministry seminar in Pune. The ones at Aguada Jail, do have a good time; is what she also said.
Regards Ashley
