The judicial system of our country is questionable on many accounts. Cases in court go on for years altogether and the victims eventually give up on seeking justice. Maybe it is equally bad or maybe even worse in other countries, but that doesn’t change the weakness of our own system.
A recent video from Arrah Jail in Bihar is going viral on the internet. The video shows prisoners using cell phones, smoking cigarettes and doing drugs inside the jail premises.

Is this really a prison, you ask? Unfortunately, it is. Crime rates in Bihar have been on an incline for some time now. But even if the criminals are caught and put in jail, it is no less than a picnic for them.
The authorities are now probing the video and establishing its authenticity. Probes are also being made into investigating how inmates got a hold of these things in the first place.
Video being probed. Once its authenticity is established strict action will be taken. It'll be probed how inmates got hold of those things: SK Singhal, ADG HQ on reports of video showing inmates using mobile phones & drugs inside Arrah Jail in #Bihar pic.twitter.com/bb3YARhb1J

It is really sad to see these things happening in our country. These criminals who are put in jail deserve to be severely punished for their crimes, instead of being allowed to engage in recreations like these. If criminals who are put behind bars get to live like this, then no wonder crime rates are not dropping in our country.
