The Punjab Home Department has started a program where students who are studying psychology, criminology, and law will get paid internships. These internships will happen and students will get paid in 44 jails.
This means that students who are learning about psychology, criminology, or law will have the chance to work in jails. They will receive money for their work during this internship.
The program aims to give students practical experience in their fields of study. By working in jails, students can learn how psychological and legal principles are applied in real-life situations. They will also gain insight into the criminal justice system and how it operates within jails. This hands-on experience can be valuable for students as they prepare for careers in psychology, criminology, or law enforcement. Additionally, being paid for their internship allows students to support themselves financially while gaining important skills and knowledge. Overall, this program provides students with a unique opportunity to learn and grow professionally.
The main aim of this internship is to get students involved in the correctional system. They will get to talk with inmates, which can help the inmates become better and join back into society
During this internship, students will be able to use what they’ve learned in real life. They will be able to help the inmates in a good way. This is a valuable experience for students because it lets them see how their studies can make a difference in people’s lives.
Additionally, the internship program will offer free legal support to vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly. This help is meant to lessen their punishments by giving them the legal assistance they need, which they might not be able to afford.
Punjab Home Secretary Noor ul Amin Mengal announced this initiative during a meeting with IG Prisons Mian Farooq Nazir. Mengal talked about how important this program is for improving the correctional system and giving students valuable experience.
He said that this program helps not only the inmates by helping them get better but also gives students a chance to learn in a special way. This program is a good opportunity for students to apply what they’ve learned in real life and make a positive impact on others.
