BRIEF STUDY OF CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING PRISON SYSTEM AND INMATES IN INDIA Priyadarshi Nagda University College of Law, MLS University, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India ABSTRACT No nation of the world can be crime free and in all the systems of the world, all races, all classes, and in both sexes criminals are found and to check that system the prison system was developed in all the societies throughout the globe. Apparently the prison in India represents the less developed of all the prison systems. The traditions, culture and the value and the poor economic conditions have prevented the jail administration to evolve the better models of prison management. The rules and regulations governing management and administration of prisons and treatment of prisoners have been incorporated in old prison act 1894 and also in various other national and international provisions. In India various committees have worked upon prison reforms along with prison manuals which include the executive instructions issued by the Inspector General of Prisons from time to time for the guidance of prison personnel. Many provisions related prison system and inmates are enriched in the constitution of India too.
