TIihar Jail is known to be styled as a correctional institution. Its main objective is to give its inmates an opportunity to lead a normal life by providing them with useful skills, education, and the ability to earn a livelihood. The aim is to improve the inmates’ self-esteem and strengthen their desire to improve. To engage, rehabilitate, and reform its inmates, Tihar had used music therapy that involves music-training sessions and concerts. The prison has its own radio station, run by inmates; there is also a prison industry within the walls, manned entirely by inmates, which bears the brand Tihar.

This time, the inmates are part of visual art workshops conducted by leading art director, Ratno Rudro, with the help of Legends Of India, a registered society working towards preserving Indian art forms. Alok Kumar Verma, DG (Delhi Prison), Tihar who played a pivotal role in organising these classes recently announced, “the training sessions shall be held every fortnight for adolescents, as their rehabilitation is of major concern.”
