A request letter from her mentioned the facilities needed from jail authorities. The facilities include.

- 24-hour running hot water
- Mineral water

According to jail authorities, Sasikala will be lodged in a separate cell which will have a cot and a TV. She will also be provided with a helper in the jail and provided food similar to other inmates.
The Supreme Court had yesterday restored Sasikala’s conviction in the DA case, awarding four years jail term to the AIADMK general secretary and her relatives, besides imposing a fine of Rs 10 crore each.
