Barwani (Madhya Pradesh): Cries of joy filled the air on Sunday as more than 77 men-women inmates met their children for a few hours, thanks to a first-of-its-kind initiative by the Prisons Department. At Barwani Central Jail, 157 children of inmates landed up in the morning to their parents.

Hugs and embraces followed under watchful eyes of prison authorities. This rare meeting of children with their parents was organised by jail authorities under the guidance of Jail Superintendent Shefali Tiwari under an initiative.

For many of these prisoners, this was the first glimpse of their children in four to five years. Assistant Jail Superintendent Vinay Kabra said it will be held monthly to strengthen family ties and potentially deter inmates from future criminal activities. To make the day even more special, the jail administration provided children with balloons, biscuits, chocolates and gifts. The event concluded with a delightful meal, both children and parents left with cherished memories.

Notably, prisons were implementing initiatives that allow inmates to meet their children, boosting morale and aiding reintegration into society. These initiatives often involve supervised visits, sometimes with child-friendly environments and aim to help both the inmates and their families maintain relationships.
