Hyderabad: The Telangana prison department hosted a conclave for prisoners who have been released in the last two years from the different jails of Telangana.
About 65 released prisoners from different districts of Telangana along with eleven convicts were present on the occasion. The prisoners shared their experiences of how the programme ‘Unnati’ has transformed their lives. ‘Unnati’ is a cognitive behavioral change programme which aims to reform the prisoners from ‘within’.
“Our programme aims at promoting the slogan ‘return not to prison’ among all the convicts who are in jail and ensure that they are handed over to society in a reformed state. The Director General of prison VK Singh has been instrumental in making 'Unnati' the most popular phenomenon in the jails of Telangana” said professor Beena Chintalapuri.
