Their are many petty criminals who are languishing in jails for many years just because they cannot afford or no one is there to pay their bail money. Thus data of such prisoners should be collected and NGO's, general public, corporates should be approached to pay off their bail amount as charity or companies who offer jobs to skilled prisoners who got trained and secured jobs while still in jail should pay bail of their future employees who would pay back the amount from their salary in future

Prison reform is linked to judicial reform- special courts, more judges, no adjournment on silly ground, witness protection & quick justice. Release all undertrials after 10 yrs in jails with courts' consent. This will decongest the jails & remaining prisoners will be under lesser stress. They need empathy,understanding from others besides physical & psychological support & some skills to face the challenges in society after release.

genious prisoners like mr raju or mr roy should be utilised for educating other prisoners.There should be convocations and conferences as per class of people and all types of education,sports,curricular activity facilities for development of a person.Jail management should be under a ministry directly and should be watched strictly to maintain honest standards.

to maintain standard of living.and class.special programmes should be designed as per class of people.For example people mr raju of satyam and mr subroto roy of sahara group should be utilised for nation building as long as ther term than mixing them with illiterate hardcore criminals.people who can afford to buy facilities should have a tariff in jails to buy facilities to generate revenue,but with complete honesty and transparency.dreaded criminals should be hanged imediately to finish crime

attitude ,we produce corruption and crime.Governments have to take care of all this reformation and implement them to groundlevel with help of society too.all politicians have to think like hon modiji and should be above all in terms of nation building with complete honesty,and devotion towards nation.Jails can be an industry if transformed in right manner.and can give us genius people,if moulded well.jails should have classification of cells.i.e For poor,middle class,higher middle class,rich.

with complete transparency and bias.International jai systems should be studied and implemented in india.If jails are made heaven then the whole world will become heaven.The logic of punishment is to deprive a person from worldly pleasures and family life and keep away from society which i feel is wrong concept and we produce more criminals.Even a dog if kept closed in a room for 24hrs becomes cruel and dangerous.Since our laws are very weak in all sectors we face this problem.due to chalta hai

his/her life becomes miserable once they come out as the society does not accepts them as before.This taboo has to be removed from the society .Government should allot big budgets fro jails now and privatise them by PPP.as its an industry too.Jails should be run like call centres.There should be some value of life for such people as they are human beings.Going in jail once should change the mind of person and a good experience rather than a nightmare.NGOS Should work inside jails.

adequate space and healthy infrastructure.a person enjoying facilities outside at home should get same inside without any bias.the criminals should have seperate system.adequate security,education system,hospitals,entertainment,and honest staff and management is required.there should be a special recruitment system for staff and management.The standards should be such now that going to jail should not be a curse anymore.As its evident that once a person is jailed ,even for a week,
