Model of a jail inmate with chain and rings around him

Is this a 'past' scene? Can you give us some more detail about this museum exhibit?
 
Yes, it is a past scene. The state government converted this central jail to a park and named it as Freedom park. Coming to the place of location, actually it is the jail where the prisoners are punished to stay, while not only the real criminals, but also some of the freedom fighters got the punishment who opposed the late Indira Gandhi during the Emergency in this jail. This park was inaugarated by one such National leader who happened to be arrested and jailed here during the emergency period.
