Where money dictates terms :
This is in reference to the above titled article, published in an English daily (Not The New Nation) on May 17, 2016. The report stated the horrific conditions prevailing in the Dhaka Central Jail. The jail staff and thugs there forcibly collect money for food, sleeping space, meetings with family members, toilets with water etc. It is also alarming and shameful that prison officials and the jailor are denying these allegations that are in plain sight.
Prisons are supposed to be correction centres for convicts. What can be worse that finding that jail authorities are involved in such criminal practices?
