As our objective is to provide vocational training to prisoners we select prisoners based on their interests and once they acquire sufficient proficiency their labour is utilized productively. In case of prisoners who already possess proficiency in any of the trades available in Jails, their services are utilized for providing training to others and also to improve the production of such units. In the case of barbers there exists a demand for this service in society and we decided to give training to inamtes in beautician course and opened beauty parlours at Central Prison & Correctional Home, Thiruvananthapuram, Open Prison & Correctional Home, Cheemeni and Central Prison & Correctional Home, Kannur and Central Prison & Correctional Home, Viyyur, which are functioning profitably.
