on mercy of jail staff who are corrupt and play with lives of people.At times educated people do get jailed for offences in business hence there should be a class system as per seriousness of crime and education too.A jail is such a place where any innocent person once landed loses innocence and its like a hell.there are criminals who attack innocent people and undertrials with the blessing of jail management.hence jails should have a system of bifurcation of degree of crime and should have

A PRISON SHOULD HAVE THE ALL THE SECURITY FACILITY AND EVERY PRISON HAVE SEPARATE CELLS, GROUNDS, LOBY ETC ACCORDING TO THE CRIME OF THE PRISONER. HEALTH CHECKUP, YOGA, TRAINING PROGRAM ON LEGAL & GOOD WAYS/ METHOD TO EARN MONEY, SKILL DEVELOPMENT COURSE, SHOULD BE ORGANISED.

Dear sir,its a very interesting topic and needs immediate intervention.i always feel that jails should have 5 star infrastructure facilities in such a manner that the prisoner should not feel like going out again.nowadays our system is rotten about jails as their is lot of corruption in and out.In our indian society there are illiterate ,literate ,children,old people who commit crime due to pressures of society and circumstances.but once arrested all are put in single barracks like animals

Some suggestion for improvement in Prison Functioning: i) Professionally categorise the inmates in various groups for intermixing, level of freedom/monitoring etc. ii) Involve each with regular activities including Asan/Pranayam/Meditation with experienced teachers. iii) Ask established spiritual people and psychologists/Philosophers for knowledge session. iii) Engage each one with suitable physical work daily for sufficient times. v) Use them in services and productive activities of their choi

Crime is always an off shoot of the person's mental state. A feeling of being deprived or victimised. If each one of us becomes responsible for the state in which we are, we will have less crimes. This can be achieved by doing courses for strengthening the mind. But if there are repeat crimes, the punishment must be so stringent that no one will dare to attempt. There is no point in increasing prison space. Also not reaching a conclusion in a crime case is a crime as well. Set time spans.

If inmates are made to go through programs by either Isha foundation or Art of living, it will help them tremendously to deal with life in prison and towards reforming them as better human beings. I have attended their programs, hence telling this from my expereince.

Under trail prisoners should be provided bail immediately. Jails should be designed like a society having factories, ways of entertainment and school for both children and education fir adult ones. Prisoners should be allowed to visit other jails. Also after conviction get over, if not easily accepted by society can be provided work in same type of factories in which he/ she use to work. Jails can be used for building workforce rather than hard criminals by adding them in ' SKILL INDIA' policy.

More than 80 percent jail inmates are in the jail as under trials. Most of them are having abundant energy and intelligence among them self. If they are given a proper and vigorous sports training it will help them in get rid of their criminal thoughts and most of them may become the good sports persons. As they do not have to spent time of any other things. So in the Jail inmates shall be put under the vigorous Sports coaching and training.

There are too many people jailed for petty offenses. Very ridiculous example: a blind man of 63 years was in Tihar jail for allegedly slapping a police officer. There should be ombudsman and social mediators selected from the society to resolve petty offenses whose punishment should be social work in the society.
