The Telangana government is inaugurating a Jail Museum at the State Institute of Correctional Administration (SICA), Chanchalguda, on May 12, marking the fifth such museum in India. The museum offers a 'One Day Jail Experience' under the 'Feel the Jail' initiative, allowing visitors to understand prison life through exposure to jail food, living conditions, and routines. It showcases the history and evolution of prisons with exhibits including historical artefacts, thematic paintings, and recreated prison cells. The museum revives and expands an earlier facility from Sangareddy, now relocated and modernized at SICA.
