Abstract

Prison is a place where the criminal justice system put its entire hopes. The correctional mechanism, if fails will make the whole criminal procedure in vain. The doctrine behind punishment for a crime has been changed a lot by the evolution of new human rights jurisprudence. Imprisonment is the one of the oldest forms of sanction which is widely practiced in every country. According to Oxford Dictionary, a prison is “a place properly arranged and equipped for the reception of persons who by legal process are committed to it for safe custody while awaiting trial or for punishment.” So primary objective of jail was ‘safe custody’ of prisoners, within four walls of prison, but the recent trends show that prisoners, a marginalized group languish in jail and their basic human rights are violated blatantly. Here researcher focused basic human rights of prisoners and what are the situations whose effects of those rights.
