Families rejoice as 213 convicts get remission in Telangana
New Indian ExpressHYDERABAD : When Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was lodged in the Central Prison as an undertrial in the vote-for-note case, life-term prisoner Nagaiah was appointed as his assistant. As they reintegrate into the society, the Telangana Prisons Department has provided jobs to 70 individuals at ‘My Nation’ petrol bunks and distributed sewing machines to eight women. “While the men were trained in carpentry, electrical works, petrol bunks or lab technician roles, the women were trained in tailoring, soap making, paper making and the like,” one of the wardens said. While many released inmates shared heartfelt moments with their families, some clutched small bags belongings in one hand, in the other, scraps of paper bearing their family members’ phone numbers One woman prisoner, eager to return to her three children, had her relative’s phone number written on her palm. Meanwhile, a 77-year-old man walked around the grounds of the prison, balancing his steps with a cane while trying to call his wife on a borrowed phone to tell her he was returning home from the jail - not on parole, but on a premature release.
