Note in English
The prison system as it operates today is legacy of the British rule in our country. It was the creation of the colonial rulers over our penal system with the motive of making imprisonment a terror to wrong doers. It is true to said that a man is not a criminal by birth but the social and economic conditions make him criminal.
This paper is an attempt to highlight some of the issues related to prisoners inside the jail. Prisoners should not be treated inhuman because the main motive of imprisonment is not to punish but to reform a criminal due to which he will be able to live in society normally after the completion of his punishment. The punishment system in Indian is also based on the reformative theory. There were many reforms in the Prison system in India but still there is need of some other reforms because the condition of prisoners in prison is degradable.
शोध सार
बड़े पैमाने पर, हमारे समाज में जेलों का अस्तित्व वैदिक काल से ही एक प्राचीन घटना है, जहाँ शासकों द्वारा अपराध के खिलाफ समाज की रक्षा के लिए असामाजिक तत्वों को एक जगह पर रखा गया था। जेलों को एक ' बंदी का घर '[3] के रूप में माना जाता था जहाँ कैदियों को प्रतिशोधी और निवारक दंड के लिए रखा जाता था। सत्रहवीं शताब्दी के अंग्रेजी राजनीतिक सिद्धांतकार जॉन लॉक ने कहा कि पुरुष मूल रूप से अच्छे थे, लेकिन 'समाज में कुछ हताश पुरुषों' को बनाए रखने के लिए कानूनों की जरूरत थी। अपने आपराधिक कानून में व्यक्त समाज का उद्देश्य व्यवस्था बनाए रखने के लिए अपने स्वयं के अस्तित्व की रक्षा करना है और सभी नागरिकों के लिए एक अच्छा जीवन जीने के लिए, दूसरों के साथ छेड़छाड़ से मुक्त करना संभव बनाना है।कानून लागू करने वाली संस्था को समाज द्वारा अपने नागरिकों की स्वतंत्रता का पर्दाफाश करने के लिए उन्हें उनके कर्तव्यनिष्ठ आचरण के संबंध में हिरासत में लेने की शक्तियां दी गई हैं।
