The building is dilapidated and has collapsed in places. The problem of water leakage has been around for a long time. Lieu and saplings have grown in the corner. Straw is placed on the tin plate to filter out the heat. This old building, which has passed almost a century, also has to face the problem of drowning in the rains. Due to the lack of drainage, the stench is equally bad.

 

This is the Rupandehi District Jail. Another problem of the jail built in 1990 is that there are more prisoners than the capacity. As there are more than three times the number of prisoners and detainees, one person has to sleep on top of the other. When the number is large, the food and water that is enough for one person has to be shared by three people. There are now 628 people in the 250-capacity prison. The prisoners here say that they have to endure torture in the temperature of more than 40 degrees in Rupandehi. 

According to prison chief Suresh Bhandari, the physical structure of the prison built 92 years ago cannot support the pressure of prisoners, prisoners and detainees. "There is a situation where Nike should be sensitive about service facilities from appointment," he said.

There is no telling what will happen through the barbed wire wall. He said that he is trying to get information about the situation inside the prison due to the inconvenience and inconvenience, as there is a danger of creating a 'gang' due to discrimination in the prison. He said that there will be arrangements for rooms and duty officers and watchmen to run the administration inside the prison.

He said that sometimes he would go inside the prison to understand their situation so that no group would form inside the prison. He says that in order to understand the problems inside, people who are going home after completing their imprisonment are called to the office and get information about the difficulties. "Information of such people is also useful to understand the behavior of Nike inside the prison," he said, "If accurate information can be collected in the prison in time, it will be easier in the management. Due to the lack of service facilities, sometimes there is a feeling of rebellion, so precautions have been taken.'

Built in the year 1990, the structure is very dilapidated. Adequate services are not available to all. If there is a problem with drinking water, the electricity is not regular. "We have not been able to provide health materials to reach everyone," admitted the Chief Bhandari, "We have not been able to manage enough playgrounds and materials." According to the prison, there is a security challenge as it is possible to observe the activities inside the prison and take pictures from that house. 

District Jail is located in the central part of Bhairawa. There is a lack of open space as the slums are connected with the prison. The lack of a strong wall around has added security challenges. The prison area is surrounded by a common netting . If there is no barbed wire in the surrounded area, there is a risk of prisoners escaping and other criminal activities from both inside and outside.
