Behind The Bars..!! Now Rent a Cell In MEDAK'S JAIL For 500 A Day
Are you bored from the different travelling spots..?
Here's a fascinating place which one should definitely make a visit to.
Tourists visiting a colonial-era jail here in Medak district of Telangana can now get a first-hand experience of prison life by paying a fee of Rs 500 for a day’s stay.
The 220-year-old District Central Jail at Sangareddy, which has now been converted into a museum, offers a 24-hour confinement under an innovative initiative called “Feel the Jail” launched by the Prisons department for people who want to spend time behind the bars and experience the feeling of being under detention.
The jail museum was opened on June 5 by Home Minister Naini Narasimha Reddy. It was open to the public the next day with entry fee of Rs. 10 for adults and Rs. 5 for children. M. Lakshmi Narasimha, Officer, District Sub-Jails, says the ‘Feel the Jail’ offer is the first in the country. The museum visit is popular, with Rs. 4,295 collected from 550 visitors since June 6.
During the stay, the inmates will be provided with a prison uniform made of khadi, a steel meal plate and glass, a mug besides washing soap, bathing soap, bedding and other facilities as per state prison manual, in addition to a fan.
Those who want to ‘understand freedom’ can pay the Jails department Rs. 500 and get ‘24-hour confinement.’ Only, there has to be advance information for staff to receive such ‘inmates’.
Those who want the ‘locked-up’ experience — in the women’s barracks — will be offered the usual khadi dress, shirt, shorts or trousers, bedding, steel plate, steel glass and steel mug, washing soap and toilet soap, all as laid down in the prison manual.
The food is also as per the system, but a fan is being provided.

Tea is offered between 6 and 6.30 a.m., followed by breakfast from 7 to 7.30, lunch from 10.30 to 11, another tea between noon and 12.30, and dinner between 4.30 and 5 p.m. While tea is locally prepared, food comes from the District Jail at Kandi. The menu is ‘chapati’ or ‘chitrannam’ for breakfast, pigeon pea with ‘rasam’, and red gram with ‘rasam’, on alternate days for lunch. Dinner is curry, ‘rasam’ and curd.
There are no workers, though, and visiting ‘inmates’ have to clean their barracks. There is no prison work involved, but they are free to plant saplings.
Do make a visit.Its a fantastic place.
