As the memorandum has already been signed, the training classes will be started in the near future, the officials said. The jail authority has a job to help inmates to start a new life after being released from the prison, Director General (Prisons) Sandeep Goel said. It will be a three-month course in steward service and after being released, 70 per cent trained inmates will get employment, the official said. This is not the first time that Delhi prisons have aimed to give skill training to its inmates. Earlier, the jail authority started 'Sanjeevan' project, where more than 1,000 inmates are being trained as yoga teachers.
