History
It is believed that during the ancient days, those prisoners who came to behave well in other prisons during their period of punishment were ultimately brought to this jail as a reward. Over here, prisoners were allowed to meet their families and were also given a personal land for farming activities. Growing crops and selling them in the market was permitted so they could earn a living.
In popular culture
The Hindi film Do Aankhen Barah Haath is inspired by Swatantrapur and penned by Madgulkar.
