Inmates at an Indian prison have refused to apply for bail because the food there is so good they don't want to leave.

The prison in Bangalore is stuffed with 4,700 inmates - more than twice its capacity. The food there is provided by a Hare Krishna group and is vegetarian.

"When we are getting tasty, nutritious food three times a day here, why should we go out and commit crimes?" said prisoner Raja Reddy.
