The largest correctional institution in South East Asia, the Tihar prisons in Delhi have decided to create a page both on Facebook and Twitter. The reason behind this step is the transparency that they want to create in their work with the common man. Their main motto will be to let the public know their method of working and also invite public opinion and suggestions to improve their efficiency. Sunil Gupta, spokesperson and law officer at Tihar prisons stated that Neeraj Kumar, DG Prisons at Tihar jail has decided to launch a page on Twitter and Facebook both, as early as possible.
