Prajwal Revanna Assigned Library Clerk Role in Bengaluru Prison

Under Karnataka prison rules, life convicts take assigned jobs that pay a daily wage based on skills and willingness.

Overview

  • Prison officials said his duties include issuing books to inmates and maintaining borrowing records in the Parappana Agrahara jail library.
  • He is entitled to ₹522 for each day of work he completes, in line with the facility’s wage norms for convicts.
  • He has finished one day in the post, though court appearances and meetings with his lawyers currently limit his work schedule, with inmates typically expected to work at least 12 days a month.
  • The former MP is serving a life sentence after an August conviction for raping a domestic worker in Mysuru, a verdict grounded in forensic findings and a voluminous CID SIT chargesheet.
  • Other sexual-assault cases and his legal appeals remain active, according to prison and media reports.
