ABSTRACT
The necessity to provide humane treatment and the safeguarding of fundamental rights within the criminal justice system has been increasingly apparent in recent years, as evidenced by the growing emphasis given to the problem of prisoners' rights in India. The purpose of this essay is to provide a thorough examination of the state of prisoners' rights in India, with an emphasis on the difficulties encountered, the degree to which current legislative provisions are being implemented, and possible reform opportunities. Access to healthcare, housing circumstances, legal representation, rehabilitation, and reintegration into society are only a few of the aspects of prisoners' rights that will be examined in this study. The project aims to provide insights into the weaknesses and gaps in the current framework governing prisoners' rights as well as identify best practices and policy recommendations for improving the protection of these rights through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including literature review, legal analysis, case studies, and stakeholder interviews. The ultimate goal of this study's conclusions is to support the advancement of human rights and dignity for every person incarcerated, as well as to add to the current conversation about criminal justice reform in India.
