India
Indian prisons are plagued by a range of issues, from overcrowding and staff shortages to poor hygiene and inadequate access to healthcare. Inmates often live in squalid conditions, with limited access to basic necessities like clean water and food. Corruption and internal disorder within the facilities further exacerbate the already challenging conditions.
In addition to these physical challenges, inmates in Indian prisons often face violations of their rights, including limited access to legal representation and educational programs. The lack of resources and support within the prison system makes it difficult for inmates to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society upon release, perpetuating a cycle of incarceration.
