Author(s)	Prof. Dr. Shrruti Sahrawat
Country	India
Abstract	The psychological well- being of inmates in correctional institutions in India is indeed very significant, though hardly attended to, when viewed within the prism of the prison system. The conditions of the prison such as over-crowding, long loitering pre-trial, very little focus on the mental side of the health issue and isolation, only add to the troubles of the already distressed incarcerated individual. This article looks into individual psychologies of collaborating several odysseys determining the hinge of a prima facie strong case that exists for adequate mental health provisions, and the possible rehabilitation and reintegrative aspects of such issues. The aforementioned issues are dealt in a manner where the authors call for collective reforms, better mental health care, and changes to the way society views incarceration, in favor of a more humane and health-centred approach to justice.
Keywords	Psychological well-being, jail inmates, mental health, overcrowding, pre-trial detention, rehabilitation, India, social isolation, prison reform.
