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.
