He remarked that staying in jail should not always be viewed negatively, but rather as an opportunity for rehabilitation and transformation. “A jail should act as a place of recreation and reflection, where old habits are changed and individuals are guided to become better human beings. That is what Wokha District Jail is striving to achieve,” he stated.

It was noted that the jail currently houses a total of 29 prisoners.
