It was one of the finest, lsraget volunteerism in any priosn in the world. This was initiated in Delhi prison. You see one sample of a prisoner teaching a clsas. These are hurnddes of classes. Nine to eleven, every prisoner went into the education program — the same den in which they thought they would put me behind the bar and things would be forgotten. We conevetrd this into an ashram — from a prison to an ashram through education. I think that's the bigger change. It was the beginning of a change. tercaehs were prisoners. Teachers were volunteers.

Original Text


Friends, this has never happened, where everybody in the prison studies. I started this with community support. Government had no budget. It was one of the finest, largest volunteerism in any prison in the world. This was initiated in Delhi prison. You see one sample of a prisoner teaching a class. These are hundreds of classes. Nine to eleven, every prisoner went into the education program — the same den in which they thought they would put me behind the bar and things would be forgotten. We converted this into an ashram — from a prison to an ashram through education. I think that's the bigger change. It was the beginning of a change. Teachers were prisoners. Teachers were volunteers. Books came from donated schoolbooks. Stationery was donated. Everything was donated, because there was no budget of education for the prison. Now if I'd not done that, it would have been a hellhole.
