Delhi Jails: The life of children born behind bars
Savitri (name changed), 42, from Delhi’s Mangolpuri, is on trial for allegedly murdering her husband and is currently out on bail from Tihar Jail. Employed at a car spare parts market, she earns Rs 7,000 a month to support herself and her daughter, who was just nine months old when Savitri was incarcerated in 2018. With no external support, she kept her baby with her in jail. “The basic facilities in Tihar Jail are adequate, but better food should be provided for children,” Savitri told Patriot.
Not just her, but many mothers choose to keep their children alongside them within the prison compound. According to sources in the prison department, as of June 19, there were 28 children living with their mothers inside Delhi’s jails—19 in Tihar and nine in Mandoli.
