A number of additions have been made to the everyday diet at prisons, including eggs and black channa, in an effort to build immunity and ward off the virus, prison officials said
Eggs, black channa and soup are now part of the staple diet of elderly prisoners and those with poor health, housed in different Central Prisons in Tamil Nadu. This is an effort to boost their immune systems, in order to help them avoid contracting COVID-19. There are a total of nine central jails across the State, and in them there are over 200 prisoners above the age of 60 and over 100 who have weak immune systems. At Puzhal Central Prison in Chennai alone, there are over 15 elderly prisoners housed for various offences.
