With laser fencing along its periphery walls, prisoner tracking system and use of advanced cameras, the new Mandoli Jail employs advanced technology to ensure security inside the prison complex. The jail, mandated to accommodate 3,776 prisoners, turned functional last October with the relocation of 50 inmates from the overcrowded Tihar Jail. But several problems faced by the Tihar Jail threaten the Mandoli Jail. But with these plans either not taking off or being ineffective, Sudhir Yadav, DG (Delhi Prisons), has planned laser fencing security system here. If proved effective, the system will be installed even at Tihar Jail, said the DG.
