Prison reforms should be a part of JUSTICE SYSTEM REFORMS, which has become ineffective; a large number of guilty go unpunished in a large number of cases; the system takes years to bring the guilty to justice; and has ceased to deter criminals. Crime is increasing rapidly everyday and types of crimes are proliferating. Several reports on REFORMS are gathering dust in the Archives of the Government. A time-bound action plan should be made and implemented with alacrity.

First we should try to reduce inmates.For that we should impart our country's culture & traditions to the inmates through lectures and videos. Also try to put them in practice while in prison, so that when they come out they feel confident of facing the outside world.Also it is necessary to study each inmates's character and behaviour and accordingly provide services.Children of inmates should be allowed to meet their mother's at least once a day for one hour to interact & assist homework etc

Punishment is give for the realization of crime. I Don't think that just by giving punishment the Prisoner would change. It's depend upon how he/she spend time of punishment in jail. It's depend upon how they get treat by others & they treat other Prisoners. The mentality of prisoner must change that is the reason they get punish

Sir the idea ofimprisonment must be addressed from first principle s .a person only should be imprisoned if he/she is a threat to society.lord Macaulay suggested that heavy fines should be imposed on an offender if they are not a threat to society.the burden on the exchequer of the state increases if a man is imprisoned plus further criminal exposure increases their anti social behaviour.even those who are imprisoned must be gig n a through psychological analysis to address the root cause

Govts spend a lot of money on transportation and security of person under trial who are in jail. Several times they are attacked by opponents during transport and hearing. Either their hearing should be in jail or by video conferencing. This will reduce expenses, time and enhance safety of people under trial.

I think govt. has sufficient fund. For which they are thinking about their Modernizing the design, architecture of new model prisons. I thought it's a promotion to be a prisoner. Now-these-days you will find the inmates are getting Bidi,Cigarattes,wines,etc from outside. I don't think they need more than that.

Please arrange a job for the prisoners once they released from prison. Because once they released the society start neglecting them. Please employ them so that the society can easily start accepting them openheartedly. Prisoners are human beings and they have the equality right to live with us.

Children born in prison or needing maternal care need to have a schooling facility. Some of the prisoners could be asked to handle the sessions. Children are the best teachers and they would learn that life is more than being in a prison. It is necessary to encourage colleges to conduct jail tours which would ensure that cells are properly managed at least at such times and also give a first hand taste of a prison for an adolescent who may stray.
