"The idea is to inculcate a habit of learning and education and to provide them an opportunity to utilise their time in prison in a productive manner," said minister Harjot Singh Bains.
The Punjab Jails Department is planning to open classrooms in prisons to provide a learning environment to inmates, state minister Harjot Singh Bains said on Thursday.
The jails minister said the move is part of the state government's mission to "transform lives of inmates and enable them to join social mainstream as reformed convicts".
"The department is planning to construct classrooms with a capacity of 50 students in each jail," he added.
Initially, two to three classrooms with a capacity of 50 students in each jail will be constructed and if more rooms are needed in the future, suitable space will be identified for it, he said in a statement in Chandigarh.
