Abstract

The condition of women prisoners in Indian prisons is a matter of great concern. Women in India have always been deprived of their rights and freedom, though our constitution bars any discrimination on the basis of sex. The situation of women in Indian prisons remains neglected even after many Supreme Court rulings and various committees reports. There is an urgent need for making prison authorities more sensitive in this regard. Government need to come up with social security measures of such women and speed up the process of trail which will avoid overcrowding in the jails. NGOs can also play major role in spreading awareness on legal issues and supporting families of these women. This Article deals with the, Problems of women Prisoners and the role of Supreme Court towards the human rights protection of prisoners.
