In response to a Delhi High Court notice, the superintendent of Tihar’s Central Jail No.1 said many items were allowed if obtained through the proper channels.

New Delhi: Mineral water, mustard oil, LCD TV, badminton racket, yoga mats, namkeen, pickles and clothes are permissible items even if one is living life behind bars.

In fact, at Central Jail No.1 in Delhi’s Tihar Jail complex, the administration provides over 200 TV sets, which are owned by the inmates on their own cost. For Rs 100 per month, an inmate can avail of cable TV facility — with limited pre-approved channels available.

This information was provided by the superintendent of Central Jail No.1 to the Additional Inspector General (Prisons), in response to a Delhi High Court notice. The court had, in turn, issued the notice based on a report that that Unitech promoters Sanjay Chandra and his brother Ajay were living a lavish life in jail.

The original report, authored by Additional Sessions Judge Ramesh Kumar-II had indicated that there was “corruption” and “grave misuse of power”, after conducting an inspection of the jail premises, after several inmates in Tihar complained that those accused of white collar crimes were living a luxurious life behind bars.

The superintendent explained that the items were allowed if obtained through the proper channels for a fee.

Here is the list of items available for inmates from the Jail Canteen, in exchange for counters. The list is being reproduced as it appears.

  1. Some of the allowed product are surprising. Isn’t BORIC powder a poison? If milk is not allowed, then what use are cornflakes. Agarbattis are allowed, but a matchbox or a lighter are (rightly) not allowed.
