Message from the Managing Director

After serving 10 years in a central prison, Ramalingam participated in the pre-release counselling sessions provided by TNPWC. With continuous support from a clinical psychologist post-release, Ramalingam successfully secured employment in a local manufacturing unit and has been able to rebuild his relationship with his family. His story exemplifies how tailored counselling can empower released prisoners to lead dignified, productive lives.

Stella, a long-term convict released after 7 years, benefited from the integrated counselling and vocational training programs facilitated by TNPWC. The programme helped her overcome stigma and find a job in a community-based NGO, enabling financial independence and social reintegration.

Struggling with mental health challenges during incarceration, Salim was connected to a clinical psychologist through TNPWC’s empanelled services. His mental well-being improved significantly, and with support, he enrolled in a skill development course post-release. Today, Salim works as a skilled technician and actively participates in peer counselling groups for released prisoners.
