Trainee IPS officers of the RR 77th Batch from the National Police Academy, along with 102 Trainee Group-I officers (Deputy Superintendents of Police) from the RBVRR Telangana Police Academy, visited Central Prison Cherlapalli as a part of their field training programme.
Dr. Soumya Mishra, Director General of Prisons and Correctional Services, explained the trainee officers about valuable insights into prison administration and the correctional measures undertaken for the reformation of
inmates.
She highlighted the new initiatives being implemented within prisons, like establishment of de-addiction centres in all central prisons and special prison for women under the initiative “Nivrutti” a first-of-its-kind effort in India.
She stated that prisons are no longer merely institutions for punishment but have transformed into correctional services focused on reforming individuals and facilitating their reintegration into society as responsible citizens.
