The Morning Standard
|July 28, 2025
In a major push to modernize its prison infrastructure and security measures, the Punjab government is rolling out advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based surveillance systems, full-body scanners, and 5G jammers across all 14 jails in the state.
The initiative aims to curb drug smuggling, mobile phone use, and incidents of prison violence, while also addressing overcrowding.
The state has sanctioned ₹252 crore for jail upgrades. Out of this, ₹126 crore is for installing security equipment and ₹126 crore for constructing new barracks to accommodate over 5,000 additional inmates.
