New Delhi: In order to reform prisoners and reduce the crime rate, jail authorities have shifted more than 4,000 first-time offenders to two jails meant exclusively for them.
Data accessed by TOI showed that 2,988 first-time offenders were lodged in central jail number four in Tihar, while 1,099 were kept in central jail 12 in Mandoli. Most first-time offenders were lodged on theft charges, followed by bodily offences and cheating cases. Most were aged between 21 and 30 years.
While 13% of the inmates were graduates, 11% were postgraduates, 5% professionals. 26% senior secondary passouts, 25% primary passouts and 20% illiterates, the data showed.
Earlier, first-time offenders were kept with habitual criminals in the same jail. "There is always a chance that first-timers could get brainwashed and recruited by the criminals into their gangs. Circumstances, including joblessness, poverty and revenge, force first-timers to commit crimes," said an officer.
