Training Center For Women Prisoners
VARHAD is running training center for women prisoners in the female section of Amravati Central Prison. As per the Prison Manual there should be arrangement for the education & vocational training for inmates inside the prison. There are various trade and factories for convicted male prisoners. The women prisoners did not had any training facilities or factory in the prison. In comparison with male section, strength of female section is very less. It is difficult to invest resources to build separate factories for female prisoners. Usually they spend most of their time in discussion about negative experience they had in their life. This would lead them to various psychological disorders & negative attitude towards whole society. The ultimate objective of the imprisonment is reformation & development through constructive activities. Therefore we started a Vocational Training Center for the women prisoners in the prison. The training center provides long-term training like tailoring and various short-term training like Embroidery, Ceramic Painting, Mehandi Application, Bharatkam etc. The training keeps the prisoners engage in constructive activity while in the prison and the same training would help them after their release to earn at least a part of their livelihood. Imprisonment has stigma attached to it. For a release prisoner it is very difficult to earn his livelihood. After release from prison, prisoners face economically dependent & stigmatized life. Through training we are building their capacity to earn their livelihood as well as to lead a normal life in the society.
