Positive reinforcement helps increase the probability of that good behaviour.”

This is the first time, except for Tinka Tinka, that I have seen any initiative, proceeding and constantly evolving day by day.
This truly touches me deep that this award ceremony has not only boosted the confidence of the winners or the enthusiasm of the rest, but especially has not let these particular years (serving as term in jail) subtract from their lives.

There is an article by Vartika Mam about open prisons in Mauritius and what we should learn from it. The story of Manoj Jha is further proof that we need more open prisons in India. There are many jails in India which are overcrowded and the condition of prisoners in these jails are miserable. In many of the prisons the female inmates are forced to stay in a crowded cell, some with their kids and have no access to any outdoor activities. It is a good news that a few measures are taken by the government for their welfare, but we need to do more. #tinkatinka #prisonreforms #humanrights

The concept of open jail in India first began in 1905, what is sad is inspite of such a long history of the structure and judicial orders for its implementation it still hasn't been efficiently implemented in India. #vartikananda #tinkatinka #prison #jail

Dr. Vartika Nanda is doing phenomenal work in prison reforms. She has written three books Tinka Tinka Tihar, Tinka Tinka Madhya Pradesh, Tinka Dasna, and gives a true representation of life inside prisons. Instead of sensationalizing, she has written about the true and lived experiences of inmates and even their children who unfortunately are also lodged inside prisons. She brings a softer side to inmates who are troubled because they can’t meet their families, but even the smallest of things gives them joy like music, dancing, painting, etc. Her newest initiative is opening a prison radio in Haryana, she has earlier done so in Agra. Workshops were held to train inmates and to develop their talents and creativity. The work of Dr. Vartika Nanda, the founder of the movement of prison reforms in India, is a testament to the idea that rehabilitation and not punishment is the answer. The radio will also keep the inmates informed about their rights and will give them respite in these challenging times of the pandemic when the inmates cannot have any visitors.#tinkatinka #tinkamodelofprisonreforms #vartikananda #prisonreforms
