<br/><br/> Artifi cial intelligence (hereinafter AI) has transformed human society. It has been<br/>applied by humans across multiple facets of their day-to-day lives. One aspect<br/>where this inclusion has become evident in recent times is the domain of criminal<br/>justice. This is also true for prison administration, which is one of the foremost<br/>facets of the criminal justice system of any country. The inclusion of AI in<br/>prison administration can lead to a paradigm shift in surveillance activities and<br/>management because of the inherent effi ciency and impartiality that AI systems<br/>possess. AI systems also have the ability to predict recidivism among prisoners,<br/>causing a better assessment of parole-related decisions. Contrarily, the use of<br/>AI for management purposes may have debilitating effects on the psychological<br/>health of the prisoners due to the absence of human interaction. Furthermore, AI<br/>can also refl ect the bias within humans, and that refl ection may be detrimental<br/>in the interests of justice and fairness vis-à-vis decisions made for parole. This<br/>is important because it represents repercussions regarding the basic rights of<br/>prisoners such as the rights of liberty and freedom that would be granted with<br/>parole. In this backdrop, the present paper will try to understand and analyse the<br/>use of AI in prison administration systems, by examining its positive and negative<br/>implications. - Reproduced<br/><br/>http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA%20Vol.%20XXI%20No%202(S).pdf
