Theni jailbreak: Human error led to escape of prisoners, says DGP-Prisons
India’s Director General of Prisons said the recent jailbreak in Theni occurred because of human error. The incident follows a separate escape from the Puzhal facility, prompting officials to order a full security audit of every prison in the state to identify and correct procedural lapses. The review will examine staffing levels, infrastructure conditions, and existing protocols to prevent future breaches.
