[5] Now that the city boasts of having around 20 million inhabitants, the same CPK along with District Jail Malir is accommodating more than half of the entire Prison Population in the province of Sindh.
(There are around 19000 inmates in 27 Prisons of the province out of which more than 10,000 are incarcerated in these two jails in the city of Karachi).
The city requires at least one district jail in its every administrative district so that jails may be easily managed and inmates may get benefit from true correctional programs and initiatives.
The Fine Arts School was established in the prison in 2007 and a teacher named Sikandar Ali Jogi was hired to teach the prisoners art education to help them become useful citizens.
This initiative was taken by Mr Nusrat Hussain Mangan, the then Superintendent of the jail (who later became DIG and then IG).
