Some really good quality, hand crafted cotton shirts in trendy and popular shades are being crafted in Tihar Jail by its
inmates and their display at the TJ’s stall at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) in Pragati Maidan in November
received an encouraging response resulting in huge sales. The modest price tag of Rs 200 might see a bigger mark up in view
of the demand, next season. While Tihar Jail seems to keep its inmates gainfully employed in making other assortment of
products regularly sold in the market, these low cost, great quality shirts have received the most success. Interestingly
none of those involved in the design and manufacture had degrees in designing. This goes to prove that if socialites, movie
producers, boutique owners can turn into designers, so can criminals on a sabbatical.
