Although studies have suggested that prison education in any form significantly reduces recidivism rates across the world, the issue remains a neglected conversation in India. In this podcast, Kausumi Saha speaks to Ms Eleena George and Dr Gauri Sharma about the curriculum that they are now teaching in Tihar Jail. This innovative and inclusive 90-day curriculum was designed using everyday items like comic books, alphabet charts, board games, and playing cards. Gauri and Eleena talk about their teaching experience, the state of prison education in India, issues faced by ex-convicts, and more.
