Prisoners’ Rights<\/h3>\n
Imprisonment has been the most common punishment for offenders of law and order since ancient times. In ancient India, wrongdoers were incarcerated to prevent their contact with society and thus maintain the social order. The modern system of prisons was not in existence in earlier times. From various sources, such as Harshacharita and Jatakas, and accounts of Hiuen Sang, we find that conditions were not satisfactory for them.[1] The modern view of prisoners focuses on their reintegration into society as better people, as opposed to earlier times when they were brutally sentenced to death to serve as a deterrent to those considering committing crimes.<\/p>
