Jharkhand to Open Semi‑Open Jails for Inmate Rehabilitation

The state government has revealed its intention to establish open and semi‑open prisons across Jharkhand. This initiative aims to provide inmates with greater freedom of movement and facilitate their reintegration into society. By creating less restrictive environments, the plan seeks to reduce overcrowding and improve rehabilitation outcomes. Officials say the new facilities will be part of a broader strategy to reform the state’s correctional system.
