A prisoner from Taloja jail is waiting for a reply from the additional director general (ADG) after writing to him asking why they are supplied with censored newspaper copies daily. Prisoners in Taloja jail get censored newspapers every day, ie, all of them have some or the other news removed. The authorities have been doing this to ensure certain news doesn’t reach the inmates. Some of these copies are in possession of mid-day.
