Another former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra, who was awarded four years RI, however, may not have to work inside the jail for the time being due to his ill health.
Mishra is admitted to a hospital soon after being convicted along with Prasad and 43 others by the court of Pravas Kumar Singh on September 30.
Bhusan said, "In jail there are works for which skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers are needed. Work is allotted according to the ability of a prisoner. No work is forced on any one."
