Six fuel pumps in Rajasthan being run by jail inmates

Rajasthan’s Jaipur prison has opened a petrol pump that is being operated by jail inmates.

The Director-General of prison Rajeev Dasot said, “Over 100 prisoners are working at fuel pumps built on jail premises at six locations across the state.”

This initiative is providing an opportunity for prisoners to earn money. The revenue generated through the petrol pump will also be used for infrastructure development of prison, he added.
