Prison Reforms in India : A Study

Author(s) Dr. Anjan Singh Bondili
Country India
Abstract A man on becoming a prisoner, whether convict or under trial, does not cease to be human being. Though the prisoners can’t be treated as animals yet the barbarous treatment sometimes given to them in prisons is not qualitatively human compared to the one given to the caged inmates. The penal reforms in India during the past few decades have brought about a remarkable change in the attitude of people towards the offenders. A person being a prisoner, cannot seized of all his rights by the authority, even though he is convicted as he is having fundamental rights guaranteed by the Art.21 of the Constitution and protected by the Supreme Court and High Courts under Art.32 and Art.226 of the Constitution. The Model Prison Manual 2003 was framed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. Since Independence, prison administration in the country has been a matter of intense debate and criticism at various public fora. In the recent years, the Supreme Court of India has come down heavily on the sub-human conditions obtaining in prisons. The Model Prison Manual 2016 represents best practices from across the country and strives to reflect the understanding behind constitutional provisions, Supreme Court directions on prison administration and international instruments. The key features of the new Manual include emphasis on prison computerization, special provisions for women prisoners, after care services, prison inspections, rights of prisoners sentenced to death, repatriation of prisoners from abroad, enhanced focus on prison correctional staff to name a few.
