The 21-day lockdown might get a bit trying for anyone of us. A number of people have been thanked for their contribution and efforts in trying to contain the spread of coronavirus
. Doctors, nurses, municipal workers, police and many others have been working day and night in this united effort. Additionally, there is another group that is contributing in its special way. Despite living under a different type of lockdown, for months and years, the inmates at the Central Jail in Vizag are manufacturing masks, bed sheets, hospital beds, phenyls and bedside tables for hospitals.In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, inmates at Visakhapatnam Central Jail have been entrusted with stitching face masks. The inmates have already sewn 65,000 masks. Speaking to Yo! Vizag, the Superintendent of Prisons of Visakhapatnam Central Prison, S Rahul, said, “At this hour of need, our inmates have been stitching masks as part of their social responsibilities and contribution. As a result, all the inmates in our jails have the protective gear. Now we are getting into the position of supplying masks to the government, NGOs, and the general populace on a cost-price basis. In addition, phenyl disinfectants are also being manufactured at the Jail”.
The police personnel have been organising awareness sessions to educate the inmates regarding the crisis. With the announcement of lockdown, the observatory period, of those who are under trial, has been extended from 24 hours to one month. The Central Jail staff in Vizag is also ensuring that all the inmates adopt a healthy lifestyle.
The inmates say that “we are ready to serve the Nation when such crises occur”, thus showing how even they can support their country and humanity.
