Bangalore, May 19: Karnataka government is planning on shifting eight prisons from the district headquarters to the outskirts, investing a Rs 40 crore for the project.

The minister also said that the government's efforts to hire private security guards for prison duty has failed as there was no response from private security firms for government tender regarding the matter.
