Wasted Talent

- ZULFIQAR ALI

I believe a lot of talent ends up wasted in prisons. The story ‘The

Prisoner and the Guard’ (April) has given me a new perspectiv­e; if prisoners are given due attention and facilities made available, they can have a chance to rewrite their stories. They would have something to aspire to. In many parts of the world, prisoners are treated inhumanely, but it would be a beautiful world if everybody could live knowing what they are born for.
