repected PMji, writing about another subject for common men. Sir , How to controle price of house hold food items. As I am seeing local traders are selling those house hold food items without any base. They are not giving any attention to reduced petrol/disesl price. currently no system is to check these type vendors and big malls. Malls & local traders are charging as per their wish.

I would like to suggest some steps:- 1. Providing prisoners the work of their choice. It could be writing, singing, exercising, gardening or anything else that is legal. 2. Prisoners should be taught the constitution of India for making them aware to laws. 3. Jail administration could connect the products made by prisoners with online marketing. 4. Women prisoners should be given extra facilities. 5. Prisoners should be provided 'Certificate of behavior' in jail after their release.

Whenever a person is released from prison, he/she should be under surveillance and should be motivated to do something productive and lead a good life. Gov may even try to rehabilitate them. The gov should interact with all the family members of prisoners periodically and see what the problem is and help them to rehabilitate the prisoners when they are set free.

Prisons should be provided with law libraries for the use of inmates. All procedural laws should be made available in local languages in all prisons and the under trials should be given free access to such books including law journals. Thus they can get to know their rights and their limitations. It will work as a deterrent in future if they understand things. A mygov like site should be there for the inmates to lodge anonymous complaints.

The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 was landmark in the fact that it laid down a legislative mechanism to deal with arrested and convicted persons. Preferably, the Parliament should adopt such a legislation to standardize the operating procedures in all prisons throughout India.

According to a famous psychological experiment, controlling the behaviour of inmates is often easily achieved through introducing a points system in prison. What this basically means that the inmates would get bonus points for good work they do (whatever they're assigned), and negative points for flouting rules or indecency. This keeps competition alive, which has scientifically been shown to reduce bad behaviour, and increase acceptance rate of inmates in the society after being released.

Inmates should always be kept busy with something. "An idle mind is a devil's workshop." Whatever be it: reading books, singing, sports, doing yoga, cooking,... anything. They should live like as if they have work to do, doing light activity all day through, with breaks for meals, relaxation, and proper sleep.

So far as mental rehabilitation is concerned, inmates should be introduced to religion. Even if they are not, there should be regular classes to teach moral values and principles to them. Even if they do not accept it, the mere fact that they are listening to it subconsciously can have quite a big psychological effect.

पूरी दंड प्रक्रिया की फिर से समीक्षा करके उसे ब्रिटिश युग के बाहर लाया जाए । निस्संदेह समाज विरोधी मानसिकता को समाज च्युत किया जाना चाहिए ,परंतु दंड व्यवस्था अपराधी के साथ दुश्मन की तरह नहीं वरन एक निष्पक्ष सुधार तंत्र की भाँति कार्य करे ।
