The e-Mulakat programme uses the video-conferencing facilities that have already been installed in state prisons for virtual deposition.

It is said that the inmate’s family members should register on the ‘eprisoner’ website and enter Aadhaar number and other details of the inmate they are going to speak to.

Inmates can talk to their family members through video calls for eight minutes at a time. They can talk multiple times after getting permission from authorities.
