Savitribai Phule Rehabilitation Center
Imprisonment has stigma attached to it. For the release women prisoner it is very difficult to earn her livelihood & adjust herself in the society. After release from prison, prisoners face economically dependent & stigmatized life. In the year 2003 the Collector Mrs. Manisha Varma inaugurated rehabilitation Center. The objective behind starting this Center was to provide immediate temporary shelter for women released from prison. This also caters as emergency shelter for family of prisoners coming from far places for visit to prisoners in the prison. Provision for emergency lodging and boarding is made available to extremely deserving cases.
The center provides vocational training to released prisoners as well as the adjoining community women. The Center is situated in an area where the majority of domestic violence cases are registered. So along with the vocational training, awareness Programme are also conducted in the Center especially in regard to family laws, rights of women, procedures to be followed in regard to cases of domestic violence. The focus in this regard is more on approaching an NGO for counseling before lodging a complaint in the police station, or filing a case in the court. Thus, we have handled many cases, which are either referred or approached directly, through counseling and such women come to the Center for vocational training. This also helps the women released from prison to integrate themselves positively with the women coming from the community. Further developing confidence and molding the personality of the women, various Programme are organized like debates, dances, competitions of Rangoli, Drawing, Recipes, etc.
