Tinka Tinka Jail News: The Jail Newsletter

Periodicity: Quarterly

Editor: Dr. Vartika Nanda
Launching Year: 2020
Copyright: Tinka Tinka Foundation

 Tinka Tinka Jail Newsletter is a new feature introduced by Tinka Tinka Fondation. It is a quarterly edition that aims to connect the prisons across India besides bridging the gap between prisons and the society. 
The first issue of the Tinka Tinka Jail News is dedicated to Tinka Tinka Awards 2019. These awards are another initiative of the Tinka Tinka Foundation which are given every year on 10th December, Human Rights Day. In 2019, these awards were released by esteemed guests- Anand Kumar, Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh and IG, Prisons, Sulkhan Singh, Former Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh and Vartika Nanda, Founder of Tinka Tinka Foundation.
Awards for 2019 were given to 21 inmates and 8 prison administrators. Tinka Tinka India Awards awards are given exclusively to inmates and jail staff for honouring their creative pursuits and exemplary contribution to the prison atmosphere.  This newsletter is designed by Anurag Kshirsagar, a budding graphic designer from Mumbai.  The first newsletter will be released on the occasion of Dussehra.  
The next issue of the newsletter will be centred on the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic. It will include stories of inmates who have contributed positively to the outside world by making masks and sanitizers for them.
The newsletter will also feature some handwritten letters of inmates.

The initiative of starting a quarterly newsletter about jails is an excellent initiative. It is also great to read that inmates will have an opportunity to write in this newsletter. It is important that the issue of prison reforms becomes a mainstream movement and it can only happen if the citizens have a first-hand account of the experiences of inmates and this newsletter will work as a bridge between the two. Overall, Dr. Vartika Nanda, founder of Tinka Tinka is doing phenomenal work. #tinkatinka #vartikananda #jailnewsletter #prisonreforms
