The prison has two buildings which have a capacity to accommodate 20 inmates including 10 male and 10 female. The inmates and detainees are having several problems including sleeping due to the overcrowded prison according to prison guard Surya Bahadur Mahari. There is a total of 34 male and three female inmates and detainees in the prison. There are no facilities of entertainment and extra activities in the prison according to acting CDO and jailer Bishnu Prasad Neupane.
