Imagine a gym, but outside!
That's what the Gorakhpur District Jail just got.
It's for the inmates to exercise and feel better, both in their bodies and their minds.

The women inmates will get access to the gym once a boundary wall is built.
Officials also checked other parts of the jail, like the kitchen and hospital.
