The Delhi High Court today asked the prison authorities about the number of doctors and specialists visiting the jails in the national capital as well as the medical infrastructure and facilities available for the inmates. Delhi has three jails -- Tihar, Mandoli and Rohini. The court also sought to know from the prison authorities about the number of inmates who were more than 65 years and directed that these details be filed on record before the next date of hearing on September 6. The court had also appointed an amicus curiae to inspect the morgues and file periodic reports regarding their status.
