The age of inmates ranges from 19 to 71 years. Among them, the largest groups are 166 imprisoned for drug-related cases, 118 for rape, 83 for culpable homicide, 68 for theft, 55 for traffic-related deaths, 10 for killing, five for human trafficking and smuggling, and five for kidnapping and hostage-taking.
The overcrowding has led to increasing health issues within the prison. Nearly 20% of inmates suffer from skin-related diseases, six have mental illnesses, one has tuberculosis, 126 have partial tuberculosis, and two are diagnosed with hepatitis C.
Inmates reported having to take turns for sleeping, using toilets, and bathing. Many also said they had to pay for their own medical treatment due to inadequate health services.
Bijay Kumar Haluwai, the prison information officer, stated that despite limited resources, efforts are being made to improve prison management. He noted that keeping more inmates than the official capacity has become a necessity.
