If any prisoner is willing to play any sports, the jail should be capable of providing him\/her the ground, time and other facilities. If a prisoner is a book reader, again they should provide him with books and the facility of library should be part of jail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has come to my knowledge that the jail is providing a very poor quality food, water, and the prisoners are being held in very congested rooms. It appears that\u00a0immeasurably low and abysmal living conditions are provided to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite all the hindrances, it is a point to ponder that how come the prisoners survive their days under such circumstances? I hail the prisoners who tolerate\u00a0all the difficulties and, meanwhile, I request the general public to raise voice against such a vicious\u00a0system for the sake of humanity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, the question is: do the warden and the police treat them well or not? Absolutely not. Torturing the prisoners is a routine.\u00a0At anytime of their choice, the officials are reportedly entering the cells and baton charging or kicking the prisoners, and humiliating them, for no reason.\u00a0Needless to say, this is in complete violation of the rules and laws. The\u00a0district management, police department and other relevant departments should rally to cope with the prevailing unacceptable situation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shah Fahad Baigal\u00a0 I have recently found\u00a0some information about the present situation of\u00a0jails in\u00a0Gilgit and Hunza, Nagar.
