To identify rehabilitation and reformation activities that need to be undertaken in the jails of Haryana, a two-day training programme was organised for prison officials in Gurgaon.
The 'Training for Prison Programme' is a joint venture between Haryana Prisons and NGO India Vision Foundation.
The programme, which was fourth in the series, was led by former IPS officer Kiran Bedi and Yash Pal Singal, Director General of Prisons, Haryana, said an official release.
It was attended by 22 prison officials including Superintendents of Jail, Deputy Superintendents of Jail and Assistant Superintendents of Jail, it said.
During the programme, Bedi laid emphasis on standardisation of rehabilitation and reformation programmes across prisons.
While concluding the training programme, Singal said every prisoner should be involved in educational activities.
They should either get education or provide education to other prisoners during their stay inside the jail. Inmates should leave the prison with some additional skills, he added.
