Telephones are now the only window of communication for inmates lodged in the jails of Uttar Pradesh. Due to the existing Covid-19 threat resulting in lockdown, visitations have been stopped in all jails across India. The only way of communicating and connecting with the outside world available to inmates is through telephones and they are finding solace through this technology.
After the ban, 69 jails of Uttar Pradesh have introduced the phone call facility for inmates, free of cost. The survey selected 5 jails of Uttar Pradesh, namely Central Jail, Naini (Central Jail), Lucknow (District Jail) Agra (District Jail), Ghaziabad (District Jail) and Gautam Budhha Nagar (District Jail). All these 5 jails are representative jails of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India. These are among the largest jails of UP, have women inmates and are overcrowded too. Survey included the entire prison population of these jails, a sum total of nearly 15, 790 inmates.
This survey is conducted by Vartika Nanda, the founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation, working towards prison reforms in India. The data has been provided by Uttar Pradesh Prison Department on request. This is part of an on-going research on the communication needs of inmates with special reference to Uttar Pradesh.
Visitations have stopped in prisons in view of the present COVID-19 situation, but the telephones have now replaced them, as prison inmates can readily connect with their families over phone calls. Statistical data shows that women inmates have started phone calling their families and this has been viewed as a step towards prison reforms. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #jail #prison

These are the times when being with the family helps a lot. Since visitations to the jail has been put on hold, it was good decision to provide telephone calls to the inmates for free #tinkatinka #prison #jail #vartikananda
Uttar Pradesh is the most populous city of India. The number of detainees in prison is more than reasonable. In the cry of this current situation, where the whole country is closed by lockdown and unlock process, all work is stopped. Prevention has also been made on the availability of detainees there so that they can be made safe. Where earlier telephone facility was not available in all the district jails but now telephone facility has been made available for women detainees too, who can also talk to their families. In this difficult situation where we cannot meet each other. By providing telephone facility there, a relief has started for the prison inmates. Now phone facilities are being provided so that their mental stress is reduced.

Tinka Tinka is bringing attention to the public, how the pandemic is affecting prisons, something that most people I am sure never thought about. This not only shows the ingenuity of the prison administration to cope quickly with the challenges posed by the pandemic but also the cooperation of inmates, how they in their small way are helping by not further spreading the virus by not going out on parole. #prisonreforms #news #COVID #tinkatinka
