    Tihar Prisons, also called Tihar Jail and Tihar Ashram, is the largest complex of prisons in South Asia. It is located in Tihar village, approximately 7 km from Chanakya Puri, to the west of New Delhi, India. The surrounding area is called Hari Nagar.
    The prison is styled a correctional institution. Its main objective is to convert its inmates into ordinary members of society by providing them with useful skills, education, and respect for the law. It aims to improve the inmates' self-esteem and strengthen their desire to improve. To engage, rehabilitate, and reform its inmates, Tihar uses music therapy, which involves music training sessions and concerts.There is also a prison industry within the walls, manned wholly by inmates, which bears the brand Tihar. As of November 2006, Tihar jail has almost 12,000 inmates against the sanctioned capacity of 5,200.

    It does not sound like a prison at all. Sounds ,for a lot of prisoners, life there is much better than the life they left behind, hence there are so over crowded.
