  6. We as a society should recognize the work done by prisoners during COVID 19 epidemic. They have helped the nation by manufacturing masks, PPE kits, hand sanitizers, gowns for doctors and paramedical staff, etc. They have also made some great sacrifices, some were unable to go on parole while others were unable to have visitors. Also, the jail administration and staff need to be appreciated for guiding the inmates in these challenging times and also took great steps to prevent the spread of the virus in jail. Tinka Tinka should also be appreciated for bringing out these stories, that too in these difficulties of the pandemic. #prisonsincorona #tinktinka #prisonreforms
