Generally prisoners in any jail are kept in a secluded and away from the society. They are treated in a different manner and jailers try to change them through different kinds of punishment and activities during their jail term.
However jails in Punjab surprise all by giving them access to social media. Prisoners upload their photos and in their profiles describe their past history about their crimes. Punjab's high security prison Nabah Jail shows more than 150 photographs of the prisoners uploaded on FB site run by by its inmates.
People who search for Naba Jail in Facebook will get shock to find prisoners describing their crimes. Not only Nabha,even Patiala and Faridkot jail inmates too are quite active on data-facebook updating their profiles with selfies.
Last Saturday witnessed unusual activity with record of sorts when gangster Vicky Gounder of the Shera Khuban gang, currently lodged in Nabha jail, posted a claim to killing gangster Jaswinder Singh alias Rocky, and challenged Bathinda SSP Swapan Sharma to take action.
Soon, more than five others from own jail cells had joined the queue on Facebook, claiming to have got Rocky killed. ADGP Prisons MK Tiwari said despite constant raids smuggling of phones has been rampant.
