NEED FOR PRISON REFORMS
With
the development of human rights approach there is a shift in reforming the
prisoners in place of punishing them Reformation and rehabilitation of the
prisoners is a matter of utmost concern. Indian prison system is still being
governed by age old Prison Act. Indian
prison system has been continuously criticized for its various loopholes like
overcrowding, low health facility, lack of proper training staff, insufficient
medical facilities, common ward for different population etc. These problems
poses serious question on the dignity of the prison inmates. Condition of the
prisoners in Indian jail is in an awfully bad. Multiple committees appointed by
the government have recommended various reforms to improve the living
conditions of the prison inmates, however almost negligible implementation has
been done by the state based on these reports. Many reforms were also suggested
by Indian judiciary but nothing concrete was carried out. India prisons are
still suffering from so many problems and we are not able to provide a system
where we can protect the human rights of the prison inmates.
