A medical camp organised by the students inside the jail

Students of a Pune-based college have been racking up experience even before they graduate, thanks to their ongoing work with inmates of Yerawada Central Prison. This time, a group of 38 students of Symbiosis Law School, ranging from first year to final year of the course, have managed to get 20 inmates released in the past two-and-a-half years, thanks to the free legal counselling they provide. The students have also been working closely with women inmates and their minor children, taking up sports, dance and English speaking lessons over weekends. In 2016, the proceeds of an award the students had won - the Herbert Smith Free Hills Award - went right back into helping improve the lives of the inmates.
