165-year-old prison holds inmates three times its capacity
August 25, 2018 07:24 am
JALESHWAR, Aug 25: Jaleshwar prison, one of the oldest structures of the country, is currently in a miserable state. Despite its dilapidated condition, it is currently accommodating prisoners three times its capacity. This prison, which was established back in 1853, is currently 165 years old. Given its date and time of construction, it is the lowest-lying structure in Jaleshwar even to this day. Rainfall often results in inundation here. It becomes a real trouble for the jailbirds as well as staffers of the prison to get rid of the water each monsoon.
