5. INTRODUCTION
Jail is a correctional institution used to detain person
who are in lawful custody of state. It includes both under trial and
convicts. It is a place or institution in which a accused is kept
isolated from the society and family in unpleasout condition.
It is a most important component of criminal justice
system. Which lead to rehabitation of offender.
The system of imprisonment represents a curious
combination of different objectives of punishment. It varies from
degree of offence. The origin of prison is inter-linked with the
system of imprisonment which originated in the first quarter of
nineteenth century.
Modern prison system in India is essentially based on
the British Prison model which is itself is an outcome of prison
developments in America during the late eighteenth century.
Earlier concept of jail imprisonment was setribution but modern
concept was reformation, rehabitation and correction etc.
Vision of Prisons Department
1-To provide for the safe and secure detention of the Prisoners
committed to prison custody.
2-To provide for the reformation and rehabilitation of Prisoners.
3-To provide for Basic minimum facilities to prisoners to maintain
human dignity.
Mission of Prisons Department
To provide minimum standard of living/treatment to
the prisoners remanded to judicial custody and at the same time
to reform/rehabilitees them by involving them in various
vocational, spiritual, educational activities so that they become
useful citizen of the country after their release.

6. Prison system in India
A Well organized system of prison is known to have
existed in India from the earliest times. It is on record that
Brahaspati laid great stress on imprisonment of convicts in closed
prisons. However, Manu was against this system. Kautilya in his
Arthashastra has started that rulers in ancient India made frequent
use of fortresses to lodge their prisoners. He was personally of the
view that as far as possible prisoners should be constructed by
the road side so that monotony of prison life is reduced to a
considerable extent. In ancient India, greater emphasis was laid
on the spiritual aspect of human life and therefore, the prisons
were so modeled as to provide sufficient opportunity for penance
and remonstrance. It was a common practice to keep the
prisoners in solitary confinement so as to afford them an
opportunity of self introspection.
The object of punishment during the Hindu and
Muglal period in India was to deter offenders from repeating crime.
The recognized modes of punishment were death sentence,
hanging, mutilation, whipping, flogging, branding or starving to
death. Particularly, during the Mughal rule in India the condition of
prisons was awfully draconic. The prisoners were ill-treated,
tortured and subjected to most inhuman treatment. They were
kept under stict surveille and control. Thus the prisons were
places of terror and torture and prison authorities were expected
to be tough and rigorous in implementing sentences.
The British colonial rule in India marked the beginning
of penal reforms in this country. The British prison authorities
made strenuous efforts to improve the condition of Indian prisons
and prisoners. They introduced radical changes in the then
existing prison system keeping in view the sentiments of the
indigenous people. The Prison Enquiry Committee appointed by
the Government of India in 1836 recommended for the abolition of
the practice of prisoners working on roads. Adequate steps were
also taken to eradicate corruption among the prison staff. An
official called the Inspector-General of Prisons was appointed for
the first time in India 1855, who was the Chief Administrator of
Prisons in India. His main function was to maintain discipline
among the prisoners and the prison authorities. With this
appointment, the jailer and other petty officials prisons could no
longer abuse their power and authority.

7. Types of jails
There were three types of jail in India till two decades ago.
1 - Maximum Security jail - In India there are four types of
Maximum Security Prison. Those are given below.
•
•
•
•
Central Jail.
District Jail.
Sub Jail.
Special jail.
In central jail offenders are kept for more then one year. In District
jail offenders are kept for three month to one year. In Sub jail
offenders are kept less then three month. Special jails are made
for juveniles, Females and political persons.
In every State there may be 1 to 6 central jails. Every district
Headquarter had a district jail and many sub jails as required.
A central jail is in the charge of an officer of the rank of S.P. and a
district jail is in charge of D.S.P. Each jail has Jailers and
Wardens.
2- Medium security jail – These jails also known as modern jails.
These jails were located in Lucknow and Ajmer. These jails are
converted into central jails.
3 – Minimum security jail - Minimum security jails also known as
open prison. It is also known as open camp or prison without bars.
It is so because
• Prisoners can go to the market during the day time but have
to come back in evening.
• There are no walls, bars locks and armed guards open in
security.
•
Because this system is based on inmates sense of
responsibility, sense of self discipline and self confidence.
And both were open to visitors and public. Because people
can meat the prisoners.
Such prisons are established to reduce overcrowding in jails, to
reward for good behavior and provide training in self reliance

prisoners who were unable to furnish surety, disposal of cases
through special/plea bargaining courts etc. the trend of
overcrowding of Delhi prison during the preceding 10 years is

Different activities in Tihar jail
1-Meditation hall – For cleansing and disciplining mind, Yoga and
meditation classes were started in a big way with the help of
various voluntary organizations. Staff members are also
encouraged, to attend meditation courses. This has helped many
prisoners in changing the whole approach to life.
2- Educational Facilities & Vocational training - Both adult and
formal education arrangements have been made for prisoners.
Educational activities are looked after with the help of Government
resources. Computer training centers are also working in the
Prisons for imparting computer education to the prisoners.
The most important aspect of the education system in
Tihar Jail is that educated prisoners voluntarily teach less
educated prisoners. An illiterate person landing in Tihar Jail can
look forward to being literate if his stay is more than a week.

13. 3-Weaving – This section initially established for manufacture of
cloth for Staff Uniform, Convict Uniform, cotton durries etc. It has
now started manufacturing different type of cloths. The training
classes for convicts also start on these machines.
4-Carpentry- This is the largest section of the Jail Factory with a
work force of approximately 350 workers. This section also trains
convicts in the finer works of carving and carpentry, making
furniture for sale to the general public. At present this unit is
producing various types of office furniture.
5-Tailoring - This unit was primarily started for imparting
vocational training to convicts for post release rehabilitation. This
section caters to tailoring requirements of prisoners and Jail staff
uniform. Effective quality control measure with rigid scrutiny of
efficiency has led to remarkable increase in the turnover of this
unit.
6-Chemical unit - Soap, Phenyl manufacture and Oil Expelling
are the basic functions of this unit. Mustard Oil of the finest quality
is produced in the section. Unit was initially started for production
of in-house consumption of these items, but at present the same
is available for open sale to the public at much lower rates then
the market. By-product of Oil like Oil Cake or Khul of this unit is
sold in the open market through open auction.
7-Bakery - Tihar Baking School basically caters to bread
requirements for morning tea/Breakfast of approximately 12,000
inmates on any given day. Tihar Factory produces very delicious
Biscuits and Namkeens on demand. With the introduction of
modern technology, this unit has now started manufacturing
varieties of biscuits, cakes, namkeen etc. These products are not
only available for sale through Dry Canteens of various Jails but
are also supplied to various Government departments.
8-Paper unit - This unit, where inmates are trained in the art of
hand made paper, converting it to various items. This unit supplies
stationary items to various Govt. Departments i.e. Delhi High
Court, various District Courts of Delhi, Department of Education
and Ministry of Environment etc. Old Government files and paper
from various departments are recycled in this unit.

14. 9-Free legal AID cell – Legal Aid Cells exist in every Jail. With the
increase in prison population to about 12,000 the demand for legal
aid and advice has increased considerably. Majority of prisoners
belong to economically poor class and are not in a position to avail
the services of expensive lawyers.
There is a Legal Panchayat system in all the jails, where the
educated and law professional cater to the legal aid requirements
of their fellow prisoners in drafting petitions, revision and appeal
applications. All these efforts have shown encouraging results.
10- Creative Art Therapy - Creative Art Therapy, which is
psycho-therapeutic in nature, is used in several settings. In
respect to prison setting, the therapy serves as a reformatory
process in several ways. Therefore, by encouraging and
promoting Creative Art, the individual is able to release his pent up
emotions and realize his worth as 'self' having a positive desire of
improving himself both consciously and unconsciously.
11-Interview hall - Each prisoner is allowed to hold two interviews
per week with his relatives/friends. The interviews are generally
permitted in the "Mulaquat Jungla" of a jail. The duration of each
interview is 30 minutes. The interviews of sick prisoners are
allowed either at the hospital or deodhi. Each prisoner is normally
permitted three visitors per interview. During the interview, a
prisoner is allowed to receive vegetarian food, fruits and clothes.
He is further allowed to receive coupons worth Rs.500/- per
interview.
12-Rehabilitation - The study of the problems faced by the
prisoners after release and the reasons for committing crime
guided Tihar Jail Admn. to initiate steps, which can go a long way
in rehabilitating the prisoners after their release. Various
programmes were started in other jails also both for convicts as
well as under trials. This has not only resulted in learning a trade
but also provided monetary gains to the prisoners. For the postrelease rehabilitation of the prisoners, the Social Welfare
Department of Delhi Govt. provides loans for setting up selfemployed units.

15. 13-Societal Participation in Reformation - As a part of
community participation in the reformation and social integration of
prisoners after release, a large number of respectable members of
non-Governmental organizations have been conducting various
activities in the Prisons. NGOs participation is mainly concentrated
in the field of education, vocation and counseling. Apart from the
formal education with the NGO support, the classes in various
languages are also held. Some of the NGOs have trained selected
prisoners on various trades and have been bringing job for them
against payment of remuneration. These prisoners are also
rehabilitated by them after their release.
14-Panchayat System and Participative Management Prisoners are encouraged to participate in the management of
their welfare activities. Sense of responsibility is inculcated in the
prisoners to prepare them for social integration. Prisoners bodies
called "Panchayats" are constituted to help prison administration
in the various fields. Once in every year a Mahapanchayat is
organized in all Central Jail. The prisons look like a self-contained
Indian village where the prisoners themselves regulate their
welfare activities under the guidance of prison officials. The
prisoners themselves manage prisoner welfare canteens.
15-Pottery - This unit is fulfilling the requirement of pitchers and
flowerpots in all jails. It also imparts training to the jail inmates for
manufacturing earthen/terracotta goods so that they can earn their
livelihood after their release from the jail.
16-Tihar Haat - Tihar Haat serves as a shopping window for Jail
products. It is located just outside the main gate of Central Jail No.
1 for the sole purpose of making products manufactured at the Jail
Factory available for sale to the general public. It functions as an
eye opener of the constructive and creative abilities of prisoners
and also adds to the Government Exchequer.
17-Recreational Facilities - The prisoner's participation in games
and sports activities within the prisons took a big jump with the
organization of inter-ward and inter-jail competitions twice a year
for the last over five years. In all the prisons various sports are
organized during winter sports festivals, which are popularly
known in the jail as "Tihar Olympics".

16. 18-Security Equipments - Tihar Prisons is having modern
security gadgets for detecting prohibited articles possessed by
prisoners/ visitors at all access points. All the watch towers are
equipped with flood lights and the open areas are covered with
High Mast flood lights for illumination and security during night
hours.
19-Closed Circuit Television System - Prison Administration
has strengthened its security and surveillance on the activities of
prisoners as well as prison staff by installing closed circuit
television system in all the prisons. Each jail has a CCTV control
room for watching the activities and a state of the art Control
Room has been setup in the Prison Headquarters. The activities
can be recorded for seven days after which backup are taken.
20-Model Test Identification Parade Room - Test Identification
Parade Room is constructed in all the under trial jails in which one
way glass is installed where accused and witness do not have
eyeball to eyeball contact. The witness can fearlessly participate
in the identification proceedings in the presence of Magistrate.
These model TIP rooms help in ensuring safety of witnesses.
21-Model Interview Hall - Model Interview Halls are being
constructed in jails where the prisoners meet their relatives/
friends separated by see through toughened glass and in
soundproof environment. Each cubical is earmarked for a prisoner
where he/she can converse with his/her relatives/friends through a
one to one microphone system. This system facilitates visitors to
see and converse with their prisoner in a proper manner.
22-Computerisation of Delhi Prisons - Computerisation of all
the jails was started way back in 1994. A Local Area Network
(LAN) was setup in 2003 to connect all the Prisons through Fiber
Optic Cable Network.
1. Prison Management System - Delhi Prison in association
with NIC has developed unique Comprehensive Querybased system software for effective Prison Management
called Prison Management System (PMS). This system
keeps comprehensive information about prisoners, their
court cases and their lodging pattern. It also records, tracks
and monitors the movement of prisoners and the action
taken on their court hearing.

17. 2. Bio-Metric Finger Identification System - The Bio Metric
System has been introduced with Prison Management System,
which stores photographs and biometric fingerprints of all the
inmates. It helps in facilitates the identification of correct prisoners
for court production and release.
3. Visitor Management System - Delhi prisons receives
around 2000 visitors on daily basis for meeting with the prisoners.
To manage this large number of visitors, Visitor Management
System software is developed which can register the visits of
friends and relatives of a prisoner 10 days in advance on
centralized telephone numbers. This system saves the time of
visitors as well as informs
the prisoners in advance about his
meeting. Due to introduction of this system complete transparency
has been obtained.
4. Video-Conferencing System - Video conferencing facility
has been setup between Tihar/Rohini jails with District Courts at
Tis Hazari, New Delhi, Karkardooma and Rohini. This facility is
used for extension of judicial remands and trials in some cases.
This has strengthened prison security and has saved manpower,
equipment and transportation.

rest of his 15 years of life in jail. He is working in a cloth mill in jail.

23. If we discuss about the views of offender
He do confessed that he did so many mistakes in his
childhood also today in whatever situation he is ;it is just due to
the little faults that has been ignored in the childhood, if that would
have been taken care of at that time it would not have been turned
into bigger crimes.
He even said that the person who belongs to Delhi
and has committed a crime; his family is being paid more when
compared to the criminals of other states and which completely a
wrong thing and is not accepted. All should be treated equally in
the eyes of law.
