Delhi: Tihar Jail cares for 31 children living with jailed mothers

Delhi: For some children, life begins not in the comfort of a home but within the confines of a prison, behind towering walls and iron gates. Born to mothers serving time, their earliest memories are not of playgrounds or parks, but of barred windows and uniformed guards.

Currently, 31 children, both boys and girls, are living with their inmate mothers in Delhi’s high-security Tihar and Mandoli jails, an official said. The prison administration ensures that these children do not suffer due to the circumstances of their birth. “From playschool to regular medical check-ups and vaccinations, every need of the child is taken care of. We try to provide an environment where their basic developmental needs are met,” the official said.
