A very interesting look at the Tihar Central Jail through the eyes of an intellectual mild-mannered Indian communist.
The Tihar Jail Complex is the most infamous of the 8 Indian jails where ‘undertials’ (the Indian word for accused who have not had their day in court) can rot for years before their case comes up. In most countries bail is common. By the way, no compensation for their prolonged incarcerated years is paid to those who are acquitted. To cover this big faux pas, the Tihar Jail is also labelled as an ‘Ashram’ where prisoners are supposed to be rehabilitated with placements given. In the interview Ghandy exposes that hollow claim.
