a prison is a place where interactive sessions can improve the reform management. let them teach with their own experience. meditation and yoga training should be a compulsion. also, one of the major concern is the job facility for them after they have completed their imprisonment as it always leads them to the world of crime again even if they wished to start afresh as no one accepted them with faith. help them stand on their feet after their release, this will give them a new path.

A prison will have all type of people. Each one can teach their skill or profession to others. For eg if a prisoner is a tailor he can teach tailoring to other interested inmates and so. This will help them to make their living after their release

Yoga classes should made compulsory for all prisoners. Good movies with social message (espcially short flims) can be screened every week. Library can be opened in each prison. Swacch Bharat project must be adopted in every prison and prisoners can be made to clean public places with proper security. Monthly medical checkups for prisoners. Sessions by motivational speakers can be conducted in prisons.

First & foremost prison should be a place where one realises his/her past mistakes and transform into a good human being. Prisons should be maintained neat and hygienic. prisons need not be luxury suites but basic amenities should be properly maintained. I would like to say few reforms that can be made in prisons. First farming, though at present it is being practiced in many prisons across India Organic farming should be practised in all the prisons based on the area available in each prison.

India is a strange Nation! Its prisons are populated mostly by undertrials. When a verdict is passed, by then, person must have spent more days than any punishments handed over by Judiciary. Is it fair? Hence the questions to be asked should go along with Speedy systems of Justice. PM repeats repeal of unneeded Acts. Speed it up too! An ancient system of production of hardened-criminals in Courts, gives ample scope to "escape", incl.terror-accused. Why can't Judges have Courts inside Prisons?

PRISON REFORMS CANNOT BE DONE IN ISOLATION. IT HAS TO BE A COMPLETE PACKAGE OF LEGAL REFORMS, JUSTICE SYSTEM REFORMS, POLICE REFORMS ALONG WITH PRISON REFORMS. SUCH TYPES OF PICK AND CHOOSE, PIECEMEAL, COSMETIC REFORMS WILL NOT YIELD ANY RESULT UNLESS ALL THESE SECTORS ARE ADDRESSED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
