Abstract	This paper examines the evolution of India’s jail administration, focusing on the development of structure and prisoner care. Prisons are intended to be leveling institutions, with durations based on criminal history and behavior. However, colonial-era legislation in India rejects the idea of incarceration as a leveling tool. The research examines the prison system, including trends, reformation, population, mortality, and costs. India faces challenges in jail administration, such as healthcare, sanitation, food, and torture. Reforms in the criminal justice system are needed to address issues like loss of civil and fundamental rights, spiritual dehumanization, physical brutality, status degradation, sexual perversions, and secondary criminalization. The Indian prison system is divided into three levels, and overcrowding leads to poor living conditions, increased violence, mental health struggles, inadequate healthcare, and lack of education and rehabilitation programs. To ensure fair treatment of offenders, political reforms, decriminalization, and increased accountability are needed.
