Working as a Para Legal Volunteer in Tihar Jail completely changed how I see justice in India. It showed me that knowing your basic rights is the only way to avoid being stuck in a broken system.

About My Volunteer Work at Tihar Jail

During my time with the Delhi State Legal Services Authority inside Tihar, I realized that access to justice is often just a matter of knowing your basic rights. Most undertrials I worked with were stuck not because they were guilty, but because they lacked simple legal guidance on bail and procedure. This experience wasn't just about volunteering; it was about seeing the system from the inside so I can guide you better on the outside.
