The years spent at Tihar Jail were the most fruitful years of Kiran Bedi’s life. At first, she was taken aback by the filth and darkness of the prison. She then decided that she would bring about a change in this hell on earth.

With a group of trusted officials, she worked on improving the hygiene and general condition of the prison. For the prisoners, she designed programs that kept them engaged in useful activities. To break the barriers of religion, she gathered all of them to take part in various religious festivals.

The prisoners had opportunities to study and were taught to practice meditation. By the end of her stay at Tihar jail, she had transformed the prison into an Ashram.
