INJUSTICE OF JUSTICE | WHY
INJUSTICE OF JUSTICE
TIHAR JAIL, TIHAR VILLAGE
WHY?
Tihar Jail is India’s most high security facility and the largest prison
complex in the world comprising 10 prisons. With the steady increase
in crime, the population of the prison complex is currently around
13000 prisoners, more than double the sanctioned capacity.
Thinking about the injustice meted out in the name of justice, we realised
that the family of a prison inmate are innocent victims as the
‘breadwinner’ is incarcerated.
We located the families of inmates, paid their house rent, put the
children in school, provided dry rations and offered training to the wives
so that they could be independent. When we visited the inmates with the
news that their families were cared for, they were at first suspicious, but
over a period of months, they asked to be taught a trade so that they
could lead honest lives once they were released.

INJUSTICE OF JUSTICE | WHY
Around 77% of the prison population earned an annual income of less
than Rs. 50,000 at the time of their arrest, the majority facing charges
under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Approximately 43% of the prisoners
are illiterate, and a mere 7% graduates. The prison administration with
the support of NGO’s is taking every possible step to increase the
literacy rate of the prisoners.
75% of the prison population are ‘under trials’, awaiting trial,
sometimes imprisoned for several years due to delays in the
justice delivery system.
We work to uplift the living conditions of the families of inmates, and to
transform the lives of inmates to empower them to lead self-sustained,
independent lives.
