[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 160344, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"][B][SIZE="5"]70 per cent jail inmates addicted to drugs [/SIZE][/B] Varinder Singh Tribune News Service [B]Jalandhar, February 10[/B] More than 70 per cent of the 18,000 inmates in various jails across the state are hooked to drugs and a large number of them are suspected to be HIV positive. Drugs like heroin, cocaine and smack are being reportedly smuggled inside jails by peddlers and couriers, most of them children. These drugs are easily available at ‘friendly kiryana shops’ and medical stores in the vicinity of jails. With the inmates vehemently resisting efforts by the jail staff to take their blood samples to ascertain if they are suffering from the disease, the exact number of those affected is not known. “More than 70 per cent of the 18,000 inmates are on drugs. Jail doctors do not have the authority to coerce them into giving their blood samples. We are trying to persuade them to do so voluntarily. “Routine medical checkups have revealed that a large number of inmates have infected genitals,” said DGP (Jails) Shashi Kant. That the jail inmates are addicted to drugs became clear when at least 300 inmates showed withdrawal symptoms in the aftermath of the clashes between the jail staff and the inmates at the high-security Kapurthala jail in November 2011. Against a capacity to hold 15,000 inmates, the Punjab jails — eight central jails, eight district jails, one high-security jail at Nabha and one open jail at Nabha — house more than 18,000 inmates. A probe into the high incidence of addiction by the jail authorities reveals that children are being used by peddlers for smuggling drugs into and out of jails. “The couriers use novel methods like milk powder to smuggle drugs inside jails. Each child is paid a daily wage of Rs 100 for the task,” said Shashi Kant. He said Sikh exponent Bhai Baljit Singh had agreed to hold a music workshop for the inmates at the Kapurthala Model Jail. “He has also agreed to hold a musical concert in the jail before February 20 to wean the inmates away from drugs.” Various commissions and committees set up by the SAD-BJP government on jail reforms failed to achieve much. The government, it is learnt, is yet to implement the recommendations made by Justice Amar Dutt who had also suggested improvements in the judicial system to ensure speedy trial. The commission that was constituted more than a year back submitted its report six months back. Another reform committee was headed by former IPS officer NPS Aulakh. [B]Staff crunch [/B] - Jails in Punjab are facing a severe staff crunch - The government had recently sanctioned the filling of 1,000 vacancies of Warders, Head Warders and Assistant Superintendents against 1,500 posts - Curiously, it was for the first time that the Punjab Police was asked to make the recruitments instead of the Jails Department, which only "monitored" the process [B]source:[/B] [url]http://www.tribuneindia.com/2012/20120211/punjab.htm#1[/url][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
