According to jail officials, he will give books to fellow prisoners while working in this position and will keep records of books borrowed. A jail official told ‘PTI-Bhasha’, “Revanna will be given Rs 522 for each day’s work on completing the prescribed duties.
According to the rules of the jail, the prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment have to do some kind of labor and they are assigned to work on the basis of their skills and desire.
Sources said that Revanna had shown interest in handling administrative work, but the jail administration has decided to deploy him in the library. He told that one day has already passed while working on this post.
Prisoners are usually expected to work at least 12 days a month and it is three days a week. Revanna’s work is limited at the moment, as he spends his time to participate in the court proceedings and meet his lawyers.
Former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda’s grandson and senior leader of Janata Dal (Secular) and Holenarsipura MLA HD Revanna’s son was recently sentenced to life imprisonment in a rape case by the lower court.
