Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir prisons department not only ensured safety of thousands of inmates amid the coronavirus pandemic, but also went the extra mile by introducing video conference to facilitate timely trial and telephone facility to connect with their families, an official said.
The department also undertook cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia to help the inmates to overcome sleep disorders, besides setting up modern interview rooms and opening welfare blocks in different jails, according to Director General of Prisons V K Singh.
A total of 536 inmates in various jails have tested positive for the pathogen so far. While 533 of them recovered, two elderly prisoners, both in their 70s, died. A prisoner, who recently tested positive for the virus in Srinagar Central Jail, is still under treatment, Singh said.
