After hearing the grievances of the prisoners, he issued directions to the subordinate judges with regard to the cases of the under trial prisoners.
He directed the legal aid authorities here to provide the legal aid to the needy inmates. He also directed the police authorities to produce the chargesheet of the accused in the court well in time so that cases may be decided timely.
The District and Session Judge also visited the newly installed STD facility for the inmates in Burail jail and praised the same and said it is an effort of the jail authorities to restore the human rights of the inmates.
STD facility is available to jail inmates for five minutes once a week. And, the facility is made available to only those inmates who maintain good conduct during their incarceration period. Whenever a prisoner is allowed to call he can make call by applying his thumb on Biometric-ID reader. The system records all the conversation and stores it for appropriate time for future retrieval.
Around 800 prisoners are lodged in the Burail jail including many dreaded criminals.
