Inside the Tihar Jail factory

 TJ'S - the label has been derived from the jail's name - is a brand with a diverse product portfolio. The mix includes everything from bread, apparel, furniture and mustard oil to paper products, soaps, blankets and disinfectants. And it is now looking to hit the big time through tie-ups with mainstream retail stores. Here, a convict displaying thick daris and bed sheets made at the weaving unit of the prison factory; Mohammed, here, can make two such daris in a day's work.
