Dr Majumder,

আচ্ছা বলুন তো “Jail” কি করে “Correctional Home” হল?
আসলে এ সবই আমাদের সবার প্রিয় বামফ্রন্ট সরকারের অবদান। আসলে ঔপন্যবেসিক স্ম্রাজ্যবাদী প্রভুদের ভাষার বদলে শ্রমিক কৃষক এর ভাষা আমদানি করতে এই পরিবর্তনগুলি করা হয়েছিল অন্য কোন কিছুর জন্য নয়। কেন্দ্রে তো কোনদিন বাম সরকার ছিল না আর হবার কোন আশাও নেই……………”।
Dear friends,
As far as I know that the old concept of a Jail was to keep a convict at bay from civil society in order to protect the sanctity & interest of society from his perilous presence which would have an adverse effect on others. He is basically legally ostrasized. Now, the concept has been changed, making room for a new one which construes this confinement as a fruitful method of reform of character – metamorphosis from a notorious rogue to the great Valmiki.
Look at Nigel Akara who does not deny his past. He said “I was bad. I did all the wrong things perhaps because of a burning greed inside me. I lusted for money and would do anything to get it. I led a gang – Vicky’s gang. It is quite natural that I would land up in jail. But I thank god that jail happened, otherwise I would have never come back to life,“
Watch “M U K T A D H A R A”.
That’s how a Jail has become a Correctional Home. The term “Jail” was a misnomer.
A journey from Jail to Correctional Home NOW certainly implies a REFORMAL PROCESS that takes place unnoticed behind the bar!
As far as I know, our state is the Pathfinder of this reformal process, receiving respectful attention from other states!
With regards.
