Abstract
Every person is born with certain human rights and that cannot be curtailed for being a prisoner. These are fundamental and inalienable to all human beings. The Constitution of India grants certain fundamental rights that live with the persons and die with them and violation of which is a grave injustice towards the person. The treatment of prisoners in prison and violation of their rights on a daily basis is the mirror how prisoners are neglected by the higher authorities and the various reports of their inhuman treatment is the hypocrisy of the police officers in the society. The basic idea of rights provided by the government to the prisoners is not to show mercy for their crimes rather not forbidding any person from their basic civil rights or encouraging inhuman treatment. The prison reforms being single of the major parts of criminal justice structure is also the one to which everyone has turned a blind eye. If the very root idea of criminal justice in India is reformative then treating prisoners with so less of humanity will further break the justice system.
