Misbehaving monkeys sentenced to life behind bars (Chicago Tribune via Daily Press)

The Motibagh Bir Zoological Park in Patiala (Punjab) has the country's only known monkey jail. It currently has about a dozen inmates who have been accused of being thieves and pests.

The jail is opposed not only by animal rights activists but also by people who originally complained about the monkeys. They assumed that the monkeys would be released in the wild. They did not expect the money to be caged like a common criminal.
