Dollars, dollars, dollars: Ayyan wants to treat jail inmates to Sehri and Iftar

Ayyan's figured out this whole jail thing pretty quickly.

We don't know whether it's because she's been watching Sly Stallone movies or popular TV prison drama Orange is the New Black, but whatever the case, Ayyan seems to have decided that if she's going to be in jail she's may as well be Queen Bee.

How's she going to achieve this?

By plying her fellow inmates (and prison staff) with food until they're so satiated they won't notice she's ruling them with her well-manicured fist!

Just yesterday Ayyan submitted an application to Adiala Jail authorities, requesting that she be allowed to bear the expense of Iftar and Sehri for the whole month of Ramazan for all the prisoners and jail staff.

At present, Adiala jail houses around 4000 prisoners with an estimated staff of 1,000 people. Usually, people give donations during Ramazan to meet the expense of Sehri and Iftar for everyone in the prison.

This Ramazan Ayyan wants to be the magnanimous benefactor behind these meals.

Jail authorities have started to calculate the estimated expense, which is probably going to be pretty steep. Ayyan said she would hand the money over once the authorities are done with budget estimation. Ayyan's application has been sent to Home Secretary for approval, jail authorities said.

Ayan also said she plans to write a book and a play on life in jail after her release.
