Tunnel detection system: Gujarat's plan to foil jail escape bids

Deccan Chronicle  

Ahmedabad: The prison authorities in Gujarat has planned to install high quality sensors in two central jails to alert officials about any underground movement and foil bids by prisoners to escape by digging tunnels. "To foil attempts by inmates to escape by digging a tunnel, we have decided to install a 'tunnel detection system' in the Sabarmati Central Jail and the Lajpore Central Jail in Surat district," Additional Director General of Police, Prisons, T S Bisht said. Apart from activating the alarm on detecting vibrations, the system would also send an SMS to the designated numbers of jail officials about the underground activity," he said. The system is expected to be first implemented near the 'high security area' of Sabarmati jail by the end of this year, he said, adding that it would be installed in both the central prisons in Ahmedabad and Surat in a phase-wise manner.
