Inmates from four prisons in Maharashtra have been engaged in making high quality teakwood furniture for a new court building in Nagpur as part of their rehabilitation and to provide an employment opportunity to them, an official said. The prisoners working on the project get wages under the skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled categories, the official told PTI.
