Sabarmati Central Jail, Prison and Gandhi Heritage Site in Ahmedabad, India.
The Sabarmati Central Jail combines correctional facilities with historical preservation, featuring dedicated yards named after influential freedom movement leaders.
Established in 1890, the prison gained prominence when Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned there in 1922 during India's independence movement.
The Gandhi Yard maintains a daily ritual of lighting lamps and burning incense while inmates participate in bhajan singing sessions.
The facility includes educational programs through partnerships with IGNOU and BAOU, offering correspondence courses to support inmate rehabilitation.
