The first 10-day Vipassana course in Tihar jail was held in late November 1993, the largest prison in the country housing about 9000 prisoners. After the success of this initial course, numerous courses were held in Tihar jail and eventually the technique of Vipassana meditation was adopted as a prison reform measure. Presently, it houses a permanent Vipassana Center in its premises. Many studies have been conducted on the impact of Vipassana meditation on prisoners.
