Gujarat prisons: the X factor: a human transformation

The author visited the Gujarat Prisons extensively during the five years ( 2019-2024), was deeply touched by what she saw inside the prisons, and narrates her observations in this book.
The humanitarian aspect of Prisons is seldom discussed. But a close observation and an immersive experience of the working of Gujarat Prisons during COVID-19 and beyond, reveals a heartwarming story of the human side of both – the prison officers as well as the prisoners. While the world was under lock-down and dealing with an unforeseen tragedy of human lives, there was no death inside Gujarat prisons. On the contrary, the prisoners were taken care by improving their living conditions, skill development alongwith a holistic mental and physical well being, and protected from the deadly Covid-19. The Gujarat Prisons went through a journey of human transformation during this time. The narrative in the book is a classic example of an authentic leadership, teamwork and kindness witnessed inside Gujarat Prisons during 2019-2024.
