The Need For Prison Reforms In India (By- Chirag H. B)
Published Paper
Article Details
Prisons play a very important role in maintaining
law and order in the society. If prisons are limited to play the role of
captivity then they might turn into “university’s for grooming criminals”. The
State should encourage research and development in the field of prisons and
prisoners to improve the living conditions of both the citizens and prisoners.
Reformation and rehabilitation should become the most important goal of prisons
and not custodial homes for torture. Correctional treatment gives the prisoner
a chance to re-enter the society and most importantly get back his fundamental
rights which will be suspended in prison. Enforcement of committee reforms are
very important in reforming prisons. This has been an issue in India for quite
a long time.
Prisons are only one method in reformation of
prisoners and in the bigger picture education, economics, institutions and social reforms need to be introduced to
bring transformation in the society[1]. It is natural
for a society to have anti-social elements so the State’s effort should be
continuous which will help both the State in smooth functioning and prisoners
in reforming. In India the central government should always have their guidance
on state government in prison governance and should try to bring in reforms.
Finally, prisoners can only be reformed and rehabilitated with good conditions
and love.
