The Taloja Jail has introduced the long-awaited e card call system, allowing prisoners to make three calls per week to their relatives. Additionally, the jail now boasts e-Kiosk machines for inmates to access their case details and important dates, as well as send greeting messages to loved ones. The Taloja jail has also made designated rooms for the video call facility inside the prison.
Furthermore, the prison has implemented Internet calling facilities, enabling inmates to make one video call daily in a designated room. These facilities were inaugurated by Maharashtra`s ADG (Prison), Amitabh Gupta, and ADG Prabhat Kumar (Civil Defence and Home Guard). Gupta engaged with inmates, addressing their concerns and promising improved facilities in the future.
