Prisons today are beset with issue like: ...
I think that huge man power is behind bar and if Honorable Courts judges that Srasram Karawas then they should be used in industries as labours so that they also contribute in nation building.
Do not keep prisoners behind the bars,Use these prisoners for the nation building by involving them in spy activity for gathering the sensitive information from neighbouring country by giving proper training & guidance.This will reduce prisons load, nations overhead cost & will also provide a oppurtunity to the criminals to change life for better.Also involve them in border security activity ,this way these prisoners will serve the nation & complete their detention period.positive change.
It's unfortunate that there are more criminals roaming freely than those who are behind the bars. With big money rich criminals can get bail with the help of clever and well-connected criminal lawyers. Salman Khan and Jaylalitha are two recent examples.
Your plans are great. First let's replace the word "prison" with Samsodhanagar. Then imparting useful skills and religious lessons can improve them. With small loans from banks they can join the mainstream. Dr Kiran Bedi is a trend-setter in this matter.
Start skill development centre in each prison.
Do psychological test before assigning the skill and then mould them for new task.Have compulsory yoga classes.
Defendants presumed innocent arc subjected to the psychological and physical deprivations of jail life, usually under more onerous conditions than are imposed on convicted defendants. The jailed defendant loses his job if he has one and is prevented from contributing to the preparation of his defence. Equally important, the burden of his detention frequently falls heavily on the innocent members of his family.” (3 of 3)
One is that the effective power to punish a citizen lies with the police, which exercises them arbitrarily at best and at most of the times dishonestly. The other is the irreparable damage to the affected citizen. In Moti Ram v. State of M.P., (1978) 4 SCC 47, Hon'ble Supreme Court, while discussing pre-trial detention, held: “The consequences of pre-trial detention are grave. (2 of 3)
Lakhs of citizens deprived of their liberty because of the judicial apathy and delays in justice delivering system is a matter of serious concern. These hapless citizens are in jail not because they have been held guilty but because the country’s judicial system takes decades to decide their cases and does not take the issue of their right to liberty and presumption of innocence seriously enough. (1 of 3)
SC in 2G scam case, “the reasoning adopted by the learned District Judge, which is affirmed by the High Court a denial of the whole basis of our system of law and normal rule of bail system. It transcends respect for the requirement that a man shall be considered innocent until he is found guilty. If such power is recognized, then it may lead to chaotic situation and would jeopardize the personal liberty of an individual” alas only affluent can approach SC; common citizens languish in jails.
Liberty, freedom and fairness are all at stake. In addition to legislative reforms, there must be major cultural and attitudinal transformation of views towards these incarcerated individuals. We must consider the tremendous costs on society of such an inefficient penal process. There must be greater scrutiny of personnel working within the criminal justice system for institutions are only as good as the people within them.
