TITLE :A BRIEF STUDY ON MAJOR PROBLEMS OF PRISONS SYSTEM IN INDIA
ABSTRACT: A prison as a social system is the special subject of research for several reasons. First, a prison is a relatively isolated social system and may be analyzed much easier in the terms of the social system than other cases, especially a society as a whole is too complex system to research it directly. Second, the correctional institution is an example of the total institution which consists of two communities or subsystems: the inmates and the staffs. Third, this kind of institution is relatively separated and differs from the other organizations in degree of control mechanisms, but it also has the connections with outside environment. The Prisons Act excludes the police custody and the subsidiary jails from the meaning of the word prison. International human rights law also developed its own concepts for the term prison. According to them, the prison can be only a place for the treatment of convicted persons. Growth of this system has given birth to many problems which are directly related to mismanagements. These study throws light upon such problems which are current burning problems which Indian prison system is facing while reformations of such institutions.
