Re-education
(Saidapet Sub Jail, Nov 2019)

A student from Pachaiyappas college, Chennai, Santhosh is from Thirumullaivoyal. While trying to make a trending video with his friends on a city bus, Santhosh got into a fight with the bus conductor and broke the wind shield glass. The city police arrested him and placed him along with his 3 friends on remand in the Saidapet Sub Jail.

 During his remand period his parents visited him everyday and cried during every visit. Locked in with actual criminals, he began to see life in a very different way.  He attended the PATTAM classes everyday and learnt the lines of acceptable social behaviour and how to control anger. He regretted his actions and decided to live a better life.

 When he was released, he was asked to take a Transfer Certificate from the college and leave. Keeping his future in mind, PRISM coordinated with the Deputy commissioner of Police at Anna Nagar, Chennai and helped Santhosh re-join his college and continue his studies.
