However,in the prison environment it had save value manpower from escorting to security implication like safely for the staff and inmates. Similarly at a scheduled time, the family members will log on to the Internet video conferencing system to tele-visit with the inmates at the Institutions. The session will be automatically terminated when the visiting time expires. In addition inmates selection was based on good conduct and positive response to our rehabilitation efforts and having families who are supportive, computer-literate and willing to participate in this pilot. In prison they had make a study that family support is essential for the rehabilitation of reforming offenders and their successful reintegration into society. The Internet Home Tele-visit is just another opportunity provided by the prison Department to help inmates stay connected to their families. This latest initiative is a fine example of leveraging on technology as part of our rehabilitation efforts.
