Former Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, who is serving a life sentence in connection with a rape case, has been allotted work as a library clerk in Parappana Agrahara prison.
According to prison authorities, his responsibilities include issuing books to fellow inmates and maintaining borrowing records.
âHe is entitled to âč522 for each day of work, provided he completes the prescribed duties. In line with prison rules, life convicts are required to perform some form of labour, and assignments are made depending on their skills and willingness,â a jail official said on Sunday (September 7, 2025).
Sources said Revanna had expressed interest in handling administrative work, but the jail administration placed him in the library instead. He has already completed one day of work in this role.
Inmates are generally required to work at least 12 days a month, spread over three days a week. However, Revannaâs schedule is limited at present, as he attends court proceedings and meets his lawyers.
