We believe that attention to these areas will bring improvements to the administration of prisons as well as have a knock on effect on the administration of justice overall.

A major area of our work is focused on highlighting failures of the legal system that result in terrible overcrowding and unconscionably long pre-trial detention and prison overstays, and engaging in interventions to ease this. Another area of concentration is aimed at reviving the prison oversight systems that have completely failed.

The Prison Reform Programme is focused on increasing transparency of a traditionally closed system and exposing malpractice. The programme aims to improve prison conditions, reform prison management, enhance accountability and foster an attitude of cooperation between the various agencies of the criminal justice system in place of the prevailing indifference and discrimination.

A sentence of imprisonment constitutes only a deprivation of the basic right to liberty. It does not entail the restriction of other human rights, with the exception of those which are naturally restricted by the very fact of being in prison. Prison reform is necessary to ensure that this principle is respected, the human rights of prisoners protected and their prospects for social reintegration increased, in compliance with relevant international standards and norms.

Prison reform is the attempt to improve conditions inside prisons, establish a more effective penal system, or implement alternatives to incarceration.[

Prisons need to be correction homes and repent homes. A prisoner's mindset is to be changed, though difficult but not impossible. This task may be entrusted to educanist , philosophers, dharmagurus. Their potential may be utilised.

Sir, i would like to advice you to make such traffic Fine system in which police man will not have to collect fine but cctv camera will click the pictures of vehicle and registration number which will generate fine for breaking traffic rules and fine should me high enough so that they will not break traffic rule again and again. fine should be send to address by post. this will reduce bribe system and make people aware of traffic rule

Sir, I do have a suggestion to literally give a break on corruption for Traffic police fine rates. People do not want to pay a larger amount as fine for breaking traffic rules,so ultimately they turn for bribe. We can put a full-stop by just reducing the fine rates. If we do so, people would not mind to pay the reduced rates as fine and would be really proud by taking part in step to reduce corruption. Moreover the revenue earned will be much more as today it goes to policemen,please consider
