Punjab Jail’s Staff Receiving Extortion

It was recently reported from Lahore that a report has been finalized where it is revealed that the jails in Punjab have been receiving up to 3.2 million Rupees of extortion and they are not putting it to good use. The report explained in detail that the money which is being received by the jails in Punjab is not being utilized in order to improve the security arrangements inside the jails.

The media understands how the security situation in the jails has been deteriorating by the day. This is the reason why it was made possible by different outlawed people to flee from the Punjab jails in the past.

However, despite the fact that there is always a danger to the security of these jails in Punjab, the people responsible are still turning a blind eye to the security situation.

An official report which was recently revealed by the media claimed that there are 32 jails in Punjab and they are all overcrowded. Currently there are 22000 prisoners being kept in these 32 jails.

Moreover, not all of these jails have mobile phone jammers. In fact, there are people who have easy access to mobile phones and they actually have their private phone numbers which they use throughout the day.
