Medical health condition of prisoners and discrepancy in facilities among the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi

Abstract

Right to health is an integral part of constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights. When we look at medical services around the world, we can see that many developed nations—like the USA, Germany, and Russia—have excellent medical facilities. They were able to control the situation to a great extent during the Covid 19 pandemic as well. They have a very sophisticated jail management system, and they are fully outfitted with cutting-edge technology, which actually makes it easier for them to track and isolate the inmate. When analysing the situation in India, it is critical to examine our diverse culture and psychology as a whole. This paper has categorically discussed all the issues and by presenting the various statistics available over the medical services. Additionally, the researchers have conducted a comparative analysis of disparities within the jail administration systems of NCT of Delhi state of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. In the Indian prison administration system, there are numerous flaws and gaps as far as medical services infrastructure, policies and its implementation is concerned.
