Voices of Hope: The Tinka Jail Radio
Imagine waking up every day to the same four walls, the same routines, the same sense of hopelessness. That was Mohit and Love's reality. Serving a 20 year long sentence, they hadd resigned themselves to their fate, the prison walls an unbreakable barrier. But everything changed when they were chosen as Radio Jockeys for Tinka Jail Radio. Initially nervous, they soon discovered the power of their voices. Behind the microphone, their words echoed through the walls, offering songs, stories, and comfort to fellow inmates. For the first time, they felt more than just prisoners—they felt human again.
Tinka Tinka Jail Radio became more than just a broadcast in Panipat Jail. It became a lifeline, a connection to the outside world, and a source of healing. Every day, the inmates eagerly anticipate the 4-hour broadcast led by Mohit, Love, and others. The songs, the laughter, and shared moments remind them that even behind bars, redemption and purpose are possible. For Mohit, Love, and their fellow RJs, radio gave them back the one thing they thought was lost forever—hope.
Such stories embody the spirit of Radio in Prison Towards New Age. Written by Dr. Vartika Nanda, this book explores prison radios—an initiative giving inmates a chance to reclaim their voice, dignity, and sometimes, even a second chance at life. It offers a powerful and intimate perspective of life beyond the headlines.
If you've ever wondered about life behind prison walls, beyond the media's portrayal and societal judgments, this book will reveal an intimate and powerful perspective you’ve never encountered before.
What if a voice could change a life?
Suresh had spent years behind bars, his world shrinking with each passing day. Then, one day, he found himself behind a microphone in the prison’s small radio station. Hesitant at first, he soon discovered something he had forgotten, the power of connection. His voice reached other inmates, bringing comfort, stories, and songs. For the first time in years, he felt heard. He felt human again.
Stories like Suresh’s are what Radio in Prison Towards New Age is all about.
Written by Dr. Vartika Nanda, this book takes you inside the world of prison radios, an initiative that has given countless inmates a chance to reclaim their voices, their dignity, and sometimes, even a second chance at life.

If you’ve ever wondered what life is like inside a prison, beyond the headlines and judgments, this book will show you a side of it you’ve never seen before.
