Abstract The paper aims to analyse the role of Judiciary in uplifting the deplorable conditions of prisoners. Prison is the place where the inmates are kept and reformed in such a way that they do not become criminals thereafter. The doctrine behind the punishment for an offence has been changed a lot by the evolution of new human rights jurisprudence. The correctional mechanisms, if failed, will make the whole criminal procedure in vain, concept of the reformation has become the watchword for prison administration nowadays. Human rights jurisprudence advocates that, no crime or criminal should be punished in a cruel, degrading or in an inhuman manner. On the contrary, it is also held that any punishment that amounts to cruel, degrading or inhuman should be treated as an offence by itself. The Prisons Act of 1894 is the initial legislation related to the prison system in India. The transition to the criminal justice system and its correctional mechanism has been adopted worldwide. Here, the inquiry is made to know the extent of the inclusion of these human rights of the prisoners into Indian legislation.
“The research method followed here is empirical research. Data collection included both primary and secondary resources. Primary data was collected through questionnaires done by others. Secondary sources included published information from journals, reports and newsletters.”
