AASRA Parivar - Culture Shock - Prison drug abuse in India - Heroin addicts in Tihar - H.S.Sethi Culture Shock - A Psychiatrist Negotiates The Prison System One had been waiting for 45 minutes on 24th August, 1993 for a group to assemble to listen to what one had to say. Ward 12 of Jail 4, the addicts ward, was a place no one in the jail felt happy to be in. A few weeks earlier, in a containment exercise, the prison authorities had rounded up all the drug addicts from all over Jail 4 and lodged them in this ward. The prisoners wore a stubble on their unshaven faces and looked vacant with the proverbial 'tombstones in their eyes'. Their clothes, most of them were in their underclothes, needed a wash a month earlier. One's thoughts about these reports were frequently interrupted by shouts and abuses hurled by the head warder for order, as requests for an assembly feel on deaf ears. The sound of the wooden rod on the backs of a few prisoners is still fresh in my mind. Slowly about twenty of the two hundred odd prisoners sat down to listen to what one was to say.
