Jail inmates in Odisha will soon get a chance to observe patriotic and motivational movies on Sundays besides enjoying soothing music in their cells a day, officials said.
The facilities are being provided to prisoners as a part of the implementation of the “Odisha Model Jail Manual-2020” said DG (Prisons) S K Upadhyay.
Inmates of the special jail here were the primary to urge the facilities from Sunday. These schemes are going to be extended to other prisons of the state gradually, a politician said.
Odisha features a total of 91 jails currently housing around 8,000 inmates.
“A projector along side an outsized screen and a audio system has been installed during a room having 100 capaciousness for the entertainment of prisoners,” a senior official of the special jail here said.
He said that patriotic and motivational movies and people with good moral value are going to be screened every Sunday to form the inmates stress free.
