From MP to jail clerk: Prajwal Revanna assigned prison library job at ₹522 a day

Once a Lok Sabha MP, Prajwal Revanna now works as a library clerk in prison, earning ₹522 per day while serving a life sentence in a rape case.

Former Hassan Lok Sabha MP Prajwal Revanna, who is serving a life sentence in a rape case, has now been given a prison job. Jail authorities have assigned him the role of a library clerk, where his duties include issuing books to fellow inmates and maintaining records of borrowings.

Revanna has already completed a day of work in the prison library, for which he received a wage of ₹522. However, wages are strictly based on attendance — inmates are paid only for the days they work. If he is absent due to court hearings or legal consultations, he does not receive payment.

While prisoners serving life sentences are required to take up some form of labour, assignments are made based on education and interest. Revanna, a mechanical engineering graduate from Chikkamagaluru, had earlier expressed willingness to engage in farming and administrative work. However, authorities ultimately placed him in the library role.

Revanna was sentenced to life imprisonment in one rape case by a special court for public representatives. He still faces trial in three more cases and has appealed to the High Court challenging the conviction.

Once a political figure who provided employment opportunities to many, Revanna now finds himself earning daily wages as a prison worker. His downfall marks a stark contrast to his past five years as an elected MP from Hassan, a position he could have held longer had it not been for the criminal charges.
