Reformed Jail – India
June 1994
Pitiful faces peer from the bars of overcrowded cells in one of India’s most notorious jails. Delhi’s Tihar Jail has almost 9,000 prisoners and, until recently, some of India’s most appalling conditions. Now, thanks to a radical reformer called Keran Bedi, Tihar is a model for all India to follow. Bedi is famous for both her prison reform and her ‘larger than life’ personality. Critics call her an attention seeker who hides the facts. A Canadian woman prisoner speaks of two months of in Tihar – conditions there still shock the West. Yet, interviews with Bedi and other prisoners offer hope where hope has always been in short supply.
