The barrack has 5 fans — woefully inadequate, especially in summer — and no running water. The toilets and septic chambers are clogged.

Lal Chand has lived in Ajmer Central Jail for 33 months. An undertrial, he hasn’t been to court in 12 months due to the “non-availability” of police guards. Chand is confined in Barrack 1 of Ward 10 with 65 other prisoners.

During the pandemic, though commutation and guest visits were restricted, we were provided with masks and sanitisers. The prison administration ensured a regular supply of essential commodities like ration, medicine and cooked food: Shankarlal

I am a construction labourer. I was transferred to Sanganer open prison a few months ago because it is nearer to my home town. Previously I have stayed in the open prison at Bichwal: Shankarlal

I believe that this work must be done on a large scale and this should not be restricted to Rajasthan. Every state should promote and establish open prisons. This work should happen to provide the fundamental right of living with dignity to the prisoners: Ajay Chopra

After my arrest in 2017 when I was taken to jail it was the first time I saw prison in real life. On the very first day, I realised that real-life prisons are much worse than the ones we see in movies. (Ajay Chopra)

It is my view that there should be more open prisons as this is far more economical for the government as well-Ranbir Singh

When I look upon my other inmates living with their family members here - this inspires me to give life a chance! Open Camps are not only liberating but allow us to live like normal people-Ranbir Singh

Closed prisons are restraining while open prisons set us free. This Sanganer Open Camp yields me the opportunity to earn a living and to determine an occupation- Ranbir Singh
