OVERVIEW

​

Prisoner Rights Law has evolved significantly over the years as an essential component of human rights advocacy. With the rising focus on the rights of prisoners, including their access to fair treatment, rehabilitation, and basic human dignity, this area demands careful legal oversight and expertise. India’s legal framework for prisoner rights includes key provisions under the Constitution, the Prison Act, 1894, and various Supreme Court judgments that have strengthened these rights. Issues such as overcrowding, health care, legal aid, and rehabilitation programs highlight the pressing need for specialized legal guidance in this field.
