Jail
Today’s ShasiTharoor’s tweet says
Frantic constituency day: inspected incomplete AirIndia hangar 2press for action, observed StateAssembly, inaugurated jail,spoke at a school”
He inaugurated a jail today. Is this something that we should be proud of? With the increase in populations, the crime rate is also increasing?
What exactly happens in jail? I’m a layman and I really do not know what is happening in the jail..I’d like to know what exactly happens in jail and how the prisoners are treated. Is it exactly the way they show in films or is it any different?
I have seen in most Government offices in India the officers with higher designation act like the masters to the one with lower ranks. When this happens in between colleagues, how a prisoner is treated by the officers in jail?
Is there somebody or some kind of process or something which concentrates on how to reduce the in mates in jail?
Are the inmates given any kind of counseling regularly?
P.S. : I’m not blaming Mr. Tharoor. Is just a thought or few questions after reading his tweet.

(1) is more of statistics
(2) is a model prison manual which will give you an understanding of how prisoners are treated
(3) is a list of publications from the BPRD.
Going thru these will give you a sense of how things work.
