The iconic 'Jail Bhajiya House', a snack shop run by inmates of Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad, is being converted into a three-storey heritage-themed complex at a cost of over Rs 2.5 crore.

The new building at the city's RTO Circle (the food outlet is located close to the prison) aims to promote the skills of inmates and instil a positive attitude towards their reformation and rehabilitation in society post their release from the prison, said officials.
