Gujarat DGP: Jails as Reform Schools

Gujarat DGP: Jails as Reform Schools

The head of police in Gujarat, Dr. K L N Rao, said that jails should not just be for punishment but also for helping people change for the better.

The government has a special program called Vikasdeep where children of people in jail get money for doing well in exams and sports.

At a recent event, two young men who did well in their exams received prizes.

One became a police officer, and the other got a job as a clerk.

The government also gives money to help children of prisoners study more.

This helps them have a better future and rejoin society when they are released.
