Taloja jail superintendent Kaustubh Kurlekar was transferred in a recent order by the Maharashtra prison department.
About:
Taloja Central Prison was set up in 2008 in Raigad district as an alternative to the Mumbai Central Prison which housed most of the undertrials in cases of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and was usually crowded over three times its capacity.
Spread over 27 hectares, the large open space in the jail surrounded by mountains was to also serve in segregating rival gangs which often led to conflicts in other city prisons.
While the jail was to be at the outskirts of a city, over the years, the area has become an extended suburb of the satellite city of Navi Mumbai.
