BPOs to be run by prisoners !!!

Thanks for the referral Mr.Amit Madhav.

Really it is good move in the right direction.

THANK YOU AMIT.

IT IS A GREAT IDEA,ONE GOVT HAS STARTED THINKING INNOVATIVELY,SECOND THE LEVELS OF PENETRATION OF IT SECTOR IN THE COUNTRY.ONLY IRONY IS,WHY PEOPLE WHO ARE CAPABLE OF  RUNNING BPO HAVE LANDED THEMSELVES AS PRISONERS.

The concept meets perfectly with the objective of imprisonment, i.e. to reform the prisoner and to impart them with usable skills to enable them to rejoin the Society, seamlessly.

Good concept. Not only they will earn and learn, but their future will also be secure after release.

Need to wait and watch. 

I agree with Amit on this.. This is the first step towards reforming our prison system.

The Jail authorities should examine the nature of crime did by the inmate especially whether he is a serial offender before recommending him for the BPO. And this is not a Cost cutting measure from the BPO firm but an initiative from the government to help the Inmates have a better life after their punishment period.

This is a very good initiative, but should be handled with more caution.

BPO's in a prison is an option that needs to be considered keeping the pros and cons in mind. It is a good way to generate revenue and the inmates will also not be idle. They will also be rehabilitated and their future will be more promising. Alternatively, recidivism in the inmates could lead to issues later in the future.

Thus, these aspects need to be considered and the perceived risks need to be kept in mind while undertaking this exercise.....

If prisoners can be "used" in producing other goods and services then why not a BPO. Is it not surprising that China is using the cheap labour in form of their prisoners to produce goods at ridiculosly lower prices which are flooded all over the world! We should not be averse to the idea if there are enough qualified people in prisons capable of doing this job or people having enough skills to do this responsible job, so be it. Let it happen, why not? May be this will instill a greater sense of responsibility and give purpose of their life to many prisoners. After all, as the saying goes - Hate the crime and not criminal. There are habitial criminals but there are also criminals lodged in the various prisons of India who had committed crimes at the spur of the moment and that very uncontrolled moment lands him or her in perpetual disgrace. May be we can at least provide some sort of solace to all. We are a democratic country and every human has his rights to live. I am all for any idea adding to the growth of India. 

The idea sounds great. It will not only help the Govt earn some money. The prisioner also earns money on on being finishing the sentence will be able to join the main stream.

I completely agree with Amit on this.

i support Amit, but porous walls should receive one coat of Birla putty.

Excellent Idea

i think it will boost up the confidence and morale of them

Also , it will encourage Illiterates to b literate and then an initiatives could be taken for their education too

WOW

I think India start to think like China or low cost concept. But it is very innovative idea to start BPO in prison.But it has two way discussion positive side is that It is good Idea but negative side is that Those person who didn't get job go to prison although negative side is no more applicable but we have seen many negative aspect used by Indian for example; Crime rate in India is now increasing,police & social people are unable to stop it. But your suggestions/opinions provide the right way for direction:-positive or negative......

Nice support for the argument...

Hello Vipin, Its good idea and welcome move for the prisoners. Their life will also change and live with respect. Hope they enjoy the work and lead a life peacefully.

Yes Amit, everyone is suuporting this idea. These days unfortunately, many educated, officials, IAS,IPS, Engineers, Doctors even law makers are either being convicted or under trails are entering these jails doing not really useful things inside. this will pave way for them to do some thing useful after they go out.

This Charlapalli Centrla Prison is considered a High tech prison is actually a place to visit like a tourist spot. Inside with beautiful gardens, landscape areas, fruit bearing trees, many dignitories who visit this place from around the world appriciate the environment here. Some of them  feel in back of their mind that they would love to be here again at least once and stay some time. ( Lighter vein ).

This is first hand information. I had the privillage to involve during the construction of this Prison as Dy.Executive Engineer right from foundation stage till completion and inaugaration.

Really very surprising and innovative idea provided used wisely.think by this innovative idea prisoners can also get another chance to get back to their normal lives even they should get chance to correct their mistake.

But authorities should make sure the complete safety so that they can not access stuff which they are  not supposed to for instance if prisoner has to work in bank they should not leak any secret  account information.

Improving the employment chances of prisoners after their release , was probably first considered by Kiran Bedi.

This idea which is following in her footsteps , is laudable and should be introduced in all prisons , especially for undertrials , who to their misfortune remain in prison for longer than the maximum possible sentence for their crimes.

i am fully agree. They are spoiling life of youth. Just observe the youth working in BPO, THEY seems to be lost in life. 

Great and positive development indeed!!
