520			_aOvercrowding in prison has emerged as serious humanitarian problem, especially in India. President of India has also expressed concern over the issue. This makes an urgent imperative to examine legal and systemic causes, consequences on inmates and jails and adequacy of enforcement of laws and measures adopted so far. Thus, the present paper intends to analyse these aspects and suggest measures to reduce the overcrowding. Based on secondary sources of data, the paper finds that delays in trials, lack of adequate jail infrastructure and personnel strength and enforcement of laws. As such, fast trials, improvement in infrastructure, involvement of community as well as fresh judicial and prison reforms are suggestible. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA%20Vol%20XXI%20No.%202%20Jul-Dec%202024.pdf
