02How it recruits
In plain words
UP Prisons Administration and Reform Services, headquartered at Karagar Bhawan, Lucknow, administers Uttar Pradesh’s network of central, district and sub-jails, responsible for custody, security and reform/rehabilitation of prisoners across the state. Direct recruitment to Warder and allied subordinate posts is carried out by the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB), already listed in this directory under State Boards → State Police Recruitment Board, rather than by the Prisons department independently.
UP Prisons recruits mainly through a written competitive examination. Posts recorded here are commonly classified as Group C.
