Transcript

00:00This young girl has been away from her family for 10 years.

00:04She was addicted to drugs because of her husband.

00:08And now, she was in jail for 2 months for a theft of a car.

00:13Her bail was also approved.

00:16But she didn't have enough money to collect her bail and get her release.

00:21What's your name, dear?

00:22Kuratulain. Sayyeda Kuratulain.

00:24Okay, Kuratulain is your name.

00:25Wait a minute, dear.

00:26Come here. Come here.

00:27Okay, so what crime are you involved in?

00:29Sir, I stole a car.

00:31I was going to my job with my friend.

00:34The police caught me.

00:35And because of that boy, they put me behind the bars.

00:37Now, I didn't know if he had a wrong car or not.

00:40I was getting late to go to the office.

00:42I have taken a divorce from my husband.

00:44So, I'm living alone.

00:45So, that's why I'm here.

00:47Do you have kids?

00:48I have a daughter, but she's with my mother-in-law.

00:50Okay, so you don't have any contact with your daughter?

00:52No, I meet her.

00:53So, how long have you been here?

00:55It's been 2 months.

00:57So, I heard that you have been bailed.

00:59Yes.

01:00But you don't have insurance money?

01:02It's been 10 years that I haven't been able to meet my family.

01:04Sir, why should I lie?

01:05I was in a drug addiction because of my husband.

01:08If you leave this place, who will you go to?

01:11Sir, I have paid the rent for 6 months.

01:13I have been living alone since the beginning.

01:15When I left my family, I was still living alone.

01:17So, it must be lively here.

01:18Sir, I live alone here as well.

01:20I miss Allah and my life.

01:23So, what would you like to choose between your life here and your life abroad?

01:25Sir, my life abroad is good.

01:27If I stay here, I won't be able to meet my family.

01:31If I go abroad, I won't be able to meet my family.

01:33So, if you leave this place, you will spend your Eid alone in your room?

01:35No, sir. Why should I stay alone?

01:37I have decided that if I leave this place,

01:39I will go to my parents and apologize to them.

01:43And do you think they will meet you?

01:45It's the heart of a parent.

01:47If I cry and apologize to them, they will forgive me.

01:49Because I have left my husband from my heart.

01:52That boy has ruined my life.

01:55I don't even want to see his face.

01:58I just want my family to accept me.

02:04So, you are saying that even if you leave this place,

02:06you will face a new challenge.

02:08Meeting your parents, apologizing to them, forgiving them.

02:10What does your heart say?

02:12Sir, no. I will leave this place.

02:13I will go to my home first.

02:14I will see my home.

02:15I will pay two Nafl Shukran.

02:17So, there is no one here to release you?

02:20No, sir.

02:22No one.

02:24Sir, the third month is about to start.

02:26No one has come to meet me.

02:28So, don't you have any hope?

02:31No, sir. I have left everything to Allah.

02:33I will wait till the case is over.

02:36We tried our best to release you,

02:38but not before Eid.

02:40But what do you have before Eid?

02:42I want to live the way Allah wants me to live.

02:45Still, if you pray to Allah, what should you pray for?

02:48O Allah, just release me.

02:50No one likes the life of imprisonment.

02:54Sir, please pack your things.

02:55We are taking you.

02:57Thank you, sir.

02:58Is it okay?

02:59Yes.

03:00Let's go.

03:01Thank you very much.

03:02What is the gratitude of Allah?

03:03O Allah, please give everyone a lot.

03:05Maybe because of your show,

03:07maybe my family,

03:09maybe my God sent me inside

03:11to meet you all.

03:14And because of you,

03:15maybe because of your show,

03:16maybe my family,

03:17maybe my God sent me inside to meet you all.

03:18Inshallah.

03:19Allah will do a lot for you.

03:27and the resident of Toronto,

03:29Parvez's mother,

03:31six women prisoners.

03:34They were released before Eid.

03:37And these women,

03:38who were in prison for many months,

03:40in fact, for many years,

03:43when they were released,

03:44the rest of the women prisoners

03:46expressed their happiness

03:48and the rest of the women prisoners

03:50who became their friends,

03:52were also sad.

03:54Why are you crying?

03:55Because...

03:56Okay, it happens, it happens.

03:58They are my friends.

03:59That's why you will miss them?

04:01What is your name?

04:02Shabnam.

04:03And how long have you been in jail?

04:04I have been in jail for nine months.

04:06Nine months.

04:07Have you been bailed out or what?

04:08I have been bailed out,

04:10but I said I will go on bail.

04:12I don't have a keyboard.

04:14I don't have an I.O.

04:15I don't have a Gama.

04:17I don't have a Sabah Noor.

04:19So, do you think

04:20if you go on bail,

04:21they won't come to meet you?

04:22No, they won't come to meet me.

04:23We go on a date together.

04:25We drink tea together.

04:26We sleep together.

04:27It's okay.

04:28God willing,

04:29you will come out soon.

04:30We will try for that.

04:31God willing, you will go out

04:32and meet your two sisters.

04:33Why not?

04:34We are like sisters.

04:36Come on.

04:38Let's go.

04:39Come on.

04:40Come on.

04:41How will it feel to go out?

04:43Come on.

04:44Come on.

04:57We have come out of the jail.

05:02Applause!

05:10Applause!

05:16The orders and requests of Shiba Shah

05:19are commendable for the release

05:22of these women prisoners.

05:24Whenever we saw the imprisoned women

05:25in the jail,

05:26either on camera or off camera,

05:28everyone was proud of Shiba Shah Sahiba.

05:31Everyone praises her mercy

05:33and resourcefulness.

05:35We thanked her

05:37And on Eid, she recorded her thoughts on the release of the women prisoners.

05:43As far as the question of magic is concerned, there is no such magic.

05:48As per law, as per the government's law and order and plus the rules that apply to us,

05:55in the prison department, in the PPR, we follow them.

06:01And all the rights and laws that apply to them, we facilitate them as per law.

06:10So, Alhamdulillah, you have seen the environment.

06:13Our environment is just like a hostel.

06:16So, it is very good that we focus on rehab.

06:19There is education for children and education for women,

06:23we are doing a lot of programs for training.

06:27Sometimes, the women who do not meet go into depression.

06:33But different activities are arranged for them here.

06:38Because here, women are not given any kind of strictness.

06:44Yes, if someone goes beyond the rules,

06:50they are changed to each other's cell or barracks.

06:55But Alhamdulillah, there is no such mess.

06:58We have a very old relationship with the Sarayam team.

07:02And I would like to thank the Sarayam team here.

07:06Because on this occasion of Eid, their surety was granted by the court.

07:13Because they did not give surety, they said that we should celebrate Eid at home.

07:18Our family is not capable of giving money.

07:22If anyone is capable of giving money, please give us a list.

07:25We will celebrate Eid at home in a week.

07:29I received a release order at 3 pm.

07:32And I think at 4.45 pm, the Sarayam team took him to the jail.

07:42So, I would like to thank the Sarayam team again.

07:46Thank you very much.

07:47They have been living in our liaison for the last two years.

07:52And they have done a number of programs here.

07:55So, you will tell them how they got the jail.

08:00What impact does the life in jail have on the psychology of prisoners?

08:05The Sarayam team also talked to Dr. Arusa Talib, an expert in psychology.

08:11Living in jail is traumatic for any woman.
