Packages for Mattresses and TVs in Jail, Beatings of Prisoners if Not Provided

A viral video reveals brutal beatings of prisoners in Chachoda sub-jail, India, where extortion practices force inmates to pay for comfort.

In Chachoda sub-jail, Madhya Pradesh, a shocking video showing the brutal treatment of prisoners has gone viral, causing public outrage. The footage depicts prisoners being beaten with sticks while being tied to a pole, suggesting systemic abuse within the facility. Reports indicate that these beatings occur when inmates fail to pay bribes, referred to as 'JAIL TAX,' to ensure their safety and comfort during incarceration.

The sub-jail houses over 200 inmates, who are subjected to this corrupt system. Those who are able to pay the bribe receive preferential treatment, while non-payers are made to endure severe punishment. This illegal extortion scheme allegedly operates under the supervision of Deputy Jailor Umed Singh Mohane, highlighting issues of accountability and oversight within the prison system.

The existing environment in Chachoda sub-jail not only reflects a broader problem of corruption within Indian prisons but also raises serious human rights concerns. The viral nature of the video has spurred calls for an investigation into the practices of the jail administration, and it may lead to broader discussions about prison reform and the treatment of inmates across India.
