The Odisha government has decided to build a model jail at Jamujhari near Bhubaneswar, which will be the state’s biggest and first green prison with zero carbon emission. The proposed model jail, which has been designed to accommodate 2,500 prisoners, will be the new address of the special jail, currently located in the densely-populated Jharpada area here since 1964.
