CORRUPTION BEHIND BARS: ONLY 3 CASES AGAINST TN PRISON EMPLOYEES IN 8 YRS

Activists say lack of public outcry, opaque functioning reasons for under-reporting of rampant corruption in prisons in the state
THE state government's anti-corruption agency, Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) has registered 2,400 cases against government officials since 2016, but only three of them are against employees of the Prisons department, official data shows.
The latest case in the prisons department was registered last week against a jail superintendent, former jailor and an administrative officer of Madurai central prison after a nudge by the Madras HC. The other two cases were in 2018 - against an official of Salem prison and Puzhal prison.
DVAC's own statistics published on its websites erroneously show an even worse figure, indicating it has registered only one inquiry against a prison official in the last eight years.
