Rights Of Prisoners In India: Need For Legislative And Administrative Reform

Abstract

The law on the privileges of detainees has been a developing one. It involves most extreme disgrace that a nation like India doesn't have classified law on the privileges of detainees. There is likewise no exhaustive enactment to manage detainees’ rights and direct their lead while in prison. Notwithstanding, the legal executive of the nation has given due acknowledgment to the convicts and held their key rights over and over. Without a trace of exhaustive enactment, it has figured out how to start trends and standards maintaining the different privileges of detainees that aide as well as tie every one of the courts in India.

Democracy is the constant pillar of this nation to prove the provisions enshrined in the Indian Constitution.

A prisoner is an individual limited to have his liberty at stake under detention due to punishment. But having said so, the thought of making him feel inhumane and tormenting hi for survivals is not part of his punishment. Plus, criminal is still a human being.

This paper shall verify the existing provisions of the Constitution and legal framework regarding prisoner’s rights. It shall also examine the prevailing status of the detainees in India.
