The prisoners with the cakes they had prepared
You can now order your birthday cake straight from Thane Central Jail. The cakes are baked by the inmates who have taken vocational training in bakery production under the supervision of a certified nutritionist. The available cake varieties are black forest, pineapple, chocolate, cupcake, sponge cake and other
bakery products.
The order for the cake (minimum 1 kg) could be placed at the prison showroom located outside the Thane Central Jail near the old RTO office at Thane. “Earlier the cakes were only baked during the Christmas season, but now we have started it on a daily basis. The more and more order we get the more our inmates get work to do. “During the Christmas season in December 2023, we sold 721 kg of sponge cake and 18,181 cupcakes for Rs 4.50 lakh. From January to March, we regularly get orders from NGOs for cupcakes, sponge cakes and birthday cakes on a frequent basis. We only take orders in bulk. One can order a day in advance and collect the order from the showroom outside the Thane Central Jail,” said Rani Bhosle, superintendent of Thane Central Jail.
