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.
03:20You pack your things.
03:21Alhamdulillah,
03:22Team Saryam
03:23released the overseas woman of Bradford,
03:26Fazilat Begum,
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?
04:00Yes, why not?
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.
