He had been treated as a special category prisoner wherein he would getting half-litre milk, provision to cook food, meet the family members and friends twice in a week and a fan and TV (with only Doordarshan) are provided in his barrack.

Jaganmohan Reddy met his mother YS Vijayamma and his wife Bharati at the prison. Now that Jaganmohan Reddy is in jail, his mother Y S Vijayamma is going to take the lead in the eletion campaign for by-polls to 18 assembly constituencies.
