Abstract

A prison is an institution which is established to confine the persons who have violated the laws of a nation. Though the primary purpose of these incarceration facilities is rehabilitation and reformation of the offenders, yet these places often conceal instances of violence which undermine the basic goal to reform. This makes it essential to recognise and uphold the fundamental rights of the prisoners to allow their transition and enable them to join back the society. These issues are apparent especially for the female prisoners’ whose needs are often ignored in these prisons.
