Millions of people are languishing in jails as undertrials for petty crimes.No lawer will fight for these poor & unfortunate people. Government can appeal in the Supreme Court to release all the undertrials who have completed 10 years in jail. This will make the job of the jail management & the supportive staff a lot more easier in term of space & other infrastructure.Other inmates can get better physical care & psychological support.

Separate arrangement is necessary for the accused but not convicted as many innocents suffer from jail custody for false accusation by influential, rich and muscle owned persons.

we have major issue of the force in land, if we gave them proper training to selected them who wants to some thing for their family and country, we select them for that purpose. If any one want the knowledge of any type of subject we give them from basic level to up. we use them at traffic junction for some selected time to control the traffic of our city regarding to his capacity. we use them for any type of our help for that his skill is improved & then he serve his family after jail.

There are several areas where we can put effort for Prison reform:- 1.)There must be a time frame to close the case based on the sections. This may reduce the bribe in judicial system. 3.) In case of bribe / schemes / finance related charges, there should not be any imprisonment in jail. They must be fined 10 times of the suit amount and their all rights should be revoked, they should be imprisoned at their home rather that giving them VVIP treatment in jail. Until case is closed.

We have to make sure that the prisoners have access to good health care and take actions to prevent diseases in them. Final aim is to reform them as good human beings and make them responsible in the Nation building when they are back home. I would like to volunteer to achieve this goal as a Physician of many years standing.

Overcrowding in the jail can be avoided by the following ways. 1)Speedy actions on their cases and timely disposal of judgement 2)Instead of keeping them at the Jail, according to the seriousness of the cases, they could be discharged and monitored at their homes itself till the case gets final judgement. 3)Otherwise, they could be kept outside seperately under monitor and can be utilised for social work. Also there should be subjects in our academy to teach crimes and related punishments.
