NEW DELHI:

The prison, likely to be completed in two years, will have 256 cells to house as many inmates -- the high-security structure has been proposed on the concept of 'one person, one cell' for stringent surveillance, officials said.

Senior officers linked with the project said the construction of cells has been planned so that high-risk inmates could neither see nor talk to another inmate.
