The Tihar Jail Store resumed its operations with a new outlet offering products crafted by the prisoners which was previously halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This initiative aims to provide rehabilitation opportunities for the inmates, giving them a chance at a better life.
The shop offers a variety of products, including clothes, artificial jewelry, bread, buns, candles, soaps, toilet cleaners, furniture, and confectionery items.
Past records of jail inmates like their conduct, health and the duration of time spent in the jail will be taken into consideration before letting them run the shop.
The sale proceeds will go to the treasury and each convict will be paid according to approved wages.
