“Jail inmates live in tension and stress and such camps are being organised inside the jail with an aim to provide them some tips so that they apply them in their day to day life and feel good,” the ‘Hasya Guru’ said.
The Kendra was formed 12 years ago and besides jail inmates, it has also benefitted many politicians, bureaucrats and other dignitaries from their stressed lives, he added.
‘Laughter Therapy’, would help the inmates a lot in refreshing their life style and channelising their energies in a positive direction, Superintendent Jail Rajni Sehgal said. (UNI)
