Yerawada Central Jail, Prison and Gandhi Heritage Site in Yerawada, India
Yerawada Central Jail spans across 512 acres and includes multiple security zones, barracks, and specialized cells designed to accommodate over 5000 inmates.
Established in 1871 during British rule, this penitentiary gained prominence when Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned here during India's independence movement in the 1930s.
The jail operates a textile mill where inmates produce 5000 garments daily for Maharashtra's prison system while learning manufacturing skills.
Located near the Ahmednagar highway in Pune, the facility maintains strict security protocols and requires advance permission for any authorized visits.
The prison includes an open jail section where inmates serving life sentences participate in agricultural activities and produce organic vegetables.
