PRISON REFORMS IN INDIA: THE LACKING REHABILITATION PROGRAMME
Downloads
Abstract
Prisons in India fall under the domain of the respective states, making it difficult to incorporate a nation-wide prison policy. Indian prisons are not the best correctional institutions due to problems like overcrowding, corruption, in prison deaths due to torture, cases of extortion, unsatisfactory sanitary, lodging conditions and unhygienic food. According to official figures, 165 un-natural deaths were reported in 2019. The basic fundamentals of rehabilitation and reform have failed miserably in Indian Prisons. Although, the apex court has established time and again that the Fundamental Rights of a prisoner are not buried at the gates of the prison, yet they are treated like animals. The research shows a dire need to bring about reforms a such as segregating the convicts, under-trial and women prisoners, civil and criminal prisoners, casual, habitual offenders and ensuring a healthy prison environment. The research study duly suggests the incorporation of psychological therapy in the rehabilitation process.
