The prison system is the most overlooked pillar of the Indian criminal justice system. Starved of funds, overcrowded with prisoners and laced with corruption, is there a scope for reforming Indian prisons and achieving true rehabilitation of prisoners? In this episode of Police Chowki, Shrikrishna Upadhyaya hosts two experts, Mr Somesh Goyal (ex-IPS and DGP of Himachal Pradesh) and Mr Javeed Ahmad (ex-IPS and DGP of Uttar Pradesh), in a conversation on the colonial context of Indian prisons, issues of overcrowding, health and hygiene, the prison economy, and policy reforms needed in Prison Manuals. Mr Goyal also talks about the ‘Har Haath ko Kaam’ initiative he led towards giving paid jobs to all prisoners in Himachal Pradesh.
