520			_aPrisoners are also entitled to have humane treatment under the aegis of human rights. But prisoners in India are kept in precarious conditions like overcrowding, poor living conditions and insufficient access to basic facilities in Indian jails. The present situation of Indian prisons indicates a slew of issues. The prisons are running at capacities considerably beyond their capacity. Congestion, poor hygiene, and higher tensions among inmates are prevalent. The situation demands for reforms in policies of prisons. No doubt Indian government has taken steps towards prison reforms in recent years. Several judicial decisions, including directions of Supreme Court and human rights commissions. As such, the present paper attempts to take the account of prison reforms by examining concerned laws and judicial verdicts. Furthermore, the use of technology, such as e-prisons and video conferencing for hearings, has increased efficiency and reduced delays in legal proceedings have been taken into account. It is suggested that India may strive for a more equitable and effective criminal justice system by implementing comprehensive changes, ultimately leading to a safer and more just society.
