Central prisons are designated correctional facilities. They typically house inmates convicted of serious crimes and serving longer sentences compared to district jails.
The minimum sentence duration for an inmate to be housed in a central prison is generally considered to be over 3 years. This differentiates them from facilities handling shorter-term sentences.
Therefore, central prisons house those prisoners who have been sentenced for over 3 years.
