Relativeless Prisoners in Jail - Disconnectedness of poor and illiterate

If I am not mistaken, there is one international organanizaiohn called "Gangaji", dedicated to the service of poor and illiterate prisoners.

In India, I have not come across such organisation or NGO.

Once a poor man or woman living in a hut is trapped in some net of law, he or she gets disconnected with his other few poor relatives which he or she may have earlier.

Now and then we hear about such persons. Since they are illiterate and poor, they hardly know about courts and their rights.

Outside jails, they have no one to connect with. No one to care for them and no one who wants to know about them.

They are lost permanently.

For some of these miserable human beings, death is the only way out.
