Foreword

During the ancient times, Prisons were considered as a House of Captives where the prisoners were held for deterrent and retributory punishment. Determined and sustained efforts of the thinkers and human right activists in this field led to progressive transformation of the concept of deterrence and retribution into reformation and rehabilitation. Therefore, under the modern correctional philosophy prisons are now considered as correctional institutions where the prisoners are sent after punishment for their reformation and rehabilitation.

Prisons have now been considered as a community, reflecting the multifaceted socio-cultural, socio-economic and socio-political scenario of the society as a whole. Prisoners of all sections of society are confined in prisons and conscious efforts are being made to provide such conditions to the prisoners in prisons as are conducive to their physical as well as mental treatment and care, and to maintain their human dignity, as also visualized by our father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi had visualized crime and prisons in therapeutical context and observed that Crime is the outcome of a disease mind and jail must have an environment of hospital for their treatment and care. This principle has become a State Policy in India and efforts have all along been made to protect all basic rights of prisoners to maintain their human dignity during the period of their incarceration.

In view of this, the main objective of the prison administration is to make prison a safe place by maintaining the required level of security and discipline and to make the best use of prison stay period for reformation and rehabilitation of prisoners by providing them basic minimum facilities in consistent with their human dignity. In India, prison is State subject. Thus, States have the primary role, responsibility and authority w. r. t. prison laws, rules and regulations. Moreover, the judiciary and union executive keep constant and close scrutiny over prison management since long with a view to make it more transparent and humane.

The National Crime Records Bureau, Ministry of Home Affairs, has been compiling and disseminating comprehensive compendium of statistical information related to various aspects of prison inmates and prison administration since 1995. The present publication," Prison Statistics India 2012", is the eighteenth in the series of annual publication. This publication contains twelve chapters which covers different aspects like Prison institutions, Inmate population and overcrowding in prisons, Type of prison inmates, Distribution of convicts and undertrials under IPC and SLL crimes, Demographic particulars of inmates, Period of detention of undertrials, Period of sentences, Vocational training, Jail inspections and visits, Strength and Training of jail officials and Prison budget and expenditure along with graphs, tables and maps.. However, brief contents of the report are summarised in Snapshots. It is hoped that this report would meet the requirements of the legislators, Central & State/UT Governments, policy makers, prison administrators, researchers, criminologists, media and other stakeholders.

I express my gratitude to the Directors General/ Inspectors General of Prisons of States/UTs for sending validated data timely. The timely of publication of this annual report is of paramount importance in preserving the relevance and utility of the information that this report provides. Hence, I request the Directors General/ Inspectors General of Prisons of all States/UTs to take personal interest in the matter so that the complete data reaches us expeditiously by the end of April every year. In the context of capacity-building, needs of the Prison departments of the States/UTs, NCRB, like previous years, will conduct training programmes to impart the requisite knowledge and skills to the personnel dealing with data compilation at the State/UT level this year also.

I also take this opportunity to record my appreciation of the sustained hard work put in by the officers and staff of the Statistical Branch of the Bureau in coordinating with the Prison Departments of the States/UTs and bringing out this report.

It is our continuous endeavour to enrich the content and presentation of this report. I request the readers to be our partners in our enterprise by sending their suggestions and inputs in the feedback form attached at the end of this report.

Prison Institution Introduction

Prison institutions are one of the three main constituents of the criminal justice system. In recent times there has been considerable change in social perception towards the prisoners. The prisons are no longer regarded as places for punishment only. They are now being considered as reformatories and greater attention is being given to ameliorate the conditions in jails so that they have a healthy impact on the prisoners in developing a positive attitude towards life and society. The ultimate purpose is to integrate the prisoners in the society after their release from the prison.

A comprehensive database has

been developed at the national level on all aspects of these institutions which has been found to be of immense use to the prison authorities in planning various activities connected with the prison administration. The input forms have been reviewed and made more comprehensive in 2000 to collect data on every aspect of prison activities. This report for the year 2012 is the eighteenth issue in the series. Number of prisons in the States/UTs in 2012 Prison and its administration is a State subject as it is covered by item 4 under List II in Schedule VII of the Constitution of India. Prison establishments in different States/UTs comprise several tiers of jails. The most common and standard jail institutions which are in existence in the States/UTs are better known as central jails, district jails and sub jails. The other types of jail establishments are women jails, borstal schools, open jails and special jails.

Total number of jails in the States/UTs given in Table 1.2 shows that Maharashtra had the highest number (215 out of 1,394) of jails among the States/UTs followed by Tamil Nadu (135), Madhya Pradesh (124), Andhra Pradesh (121), Rajasthan (119) and Karnataka (102). Arunachal Pradesh has only one district jail which started functioning since 2009. Central jail The criteria for a jail to be categorised as a central jail differs from State to State. However, the common features observed in all the States/UTs are that the prisoners sentenced to imprisonment for a longer period (more than 2 years) are confined in the central jails, which have larger capacity in comparison to other jails. These jails also have rehabilitation facilities. Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep do not have any central jail in their territories. Both Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have the highest number of 9 central jails each followed by Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Delhi (8 each). The State/UT-wise information relating to capacity of central jails is presented in Table-2.2. The available information regarding capacity for prison inmates in central jails in respect of States/UTs indicates that Maharashtra (14,841), Tamil Nadu (14,127), Punjab (12,575), Madhya Pradesh (11,603), Bihar (11,560) and West Bengal (11,012) have comparatively larger capacity followed by Jharkhand (8,140), Rajasthan (8,013), Gujarat (7,686), Uttar Pradesh (6,977), Andhra Pradesh (6,813), Karnataka (6,245) and Delhi (4,800). Central jails in Punjab (1,065), Madhya Pradesh (587), Karnataka (485),


Gujarat (480) and Maharashtra (427) have comparatively higher capacity to accommodate female prisoners. District jail District jails serve as the main prisons in some of the States/UTs. States which have considerable number of district jails are Uttar Pradesh (54) followed by Bihar (31), Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan (25 each), Assam (21), Jharkhand (17), Haryana (16) and Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka (15 each)(Table 1.2). The district jails in Uttar Pradesh (38,913), Bihar (16,566), Haryana (14,361), Madhya Pradesh (6,911), West Bengal (5,842), Maharashtra (5,841), Jharkhand (4,534) and Rajasthan (3,809) have the capacity of lodging a large number of inmates with an average capacity of 721, 534, 898, 276, 487, 234, 267 and 152 inmates per jail respectively (Table 2.3). Comparatively higher capacity for accommodation of female inmates was also reported in district jails of Uttar Pradesh (2,567) followed by Haryana (1,202), Bihar and West Bengal (555 each) and Madhya Pradesh (466). Sub jail

Ten States have reported comparatively higher number of sub-jails revealing a well organized prison set-up even at lower formation. These States are Maharashtra (172), Tamil Nadu (95), Andhra Pradesh (94), Madhya Pradesh (90), Karnataka (74), Odisha (67), Rajasthan (60), West Bengal (33), Kerala (29) and Bihar (16) while 8 States/UTs have no sub-jails namely Arunachal Pradesh, Haryana, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Sikkim, Chandigarh and Delhi (Table 1.2).

The State of Odisha had the

highest capacity of inmates (10,272) in various Sub-jails followed by Madhya Pradesh (8,044), Andhra Pradesh (3,820), Bihar (3,506), Rajasthan (3,368), Karnataka (3,107), Tamil Nadu (3,025),

Maharashtra (2,361), West Bengal (2,132) and Gujarat (1,480) (Table 2.4).

Women jail Women jails exclusively for women prisoners exist only in 13 States/UTs (Table 1.2). Tamil Nadu and Kerala has 3 women jails each and Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan & West Bengal have 2 women jails each. Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have one women jail each. The total capacity of women inmates was highest in Tamil Nadu (1,569) followed by Rajasthan (469), Uttar Pradesh (420), West Bengal & Delhi (400 each), Andhra Pradesh (380), Punjab (320), Maharashtra (262), Kerala (232), Gujarat (200), Bihar (83), Odisha (52) and Tripura (30) (Table 2.5). Borstal school The primary objective of borstal schools is to ensure care, welfare and rehabilitation of young offenders in a different environment suitable for children and keep them away from contaminating atmosphere of the prison. The juveniles in conflict with law detained in borstal schools are provided various vocational trainings. They are also given education with the help of trained teachers. Ten States namely, Tamil Nadu (12), Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab and Rajasthan (1 each) have reported Borstal schools in their respective jurisdiction (Table 1.2). Tamil Nadu had the highest capacity for keeping 653 inmates followed by Punjab (500), Haryana (355), Rajasthan (312), Karnataka (200), Maharashtra (105) and Jharkhand (100). Haryana (195), Himachal Pradesh (15) and Kerala (12) are the only States which have reported capacity for lodging female inmates in their Borstal schools (Table 2.6). Existence of borstal schools was not reported from any of the UTs.


Open jail Prisoners with good behaviour satisfying certain norms prescribed in the prison rules are admitted in open prisons. Minimum security is kept in such prisons and prisoners are engaged in agricultural activities. Only 15 States have reported about the functioning of Open jails in their jurisdiction. Amongst these States, Rajasthan has reported the highest number of 23 open jails. Maharashtra has 5 followed by Kerala (3), Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu (2 jails each). The remaining 9 States Assam, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, Uttarakhand and West Bengal have one Open jail each. Existence of such jails was not reported from any of the UTs. The highest capacity of inmates in open jails was reported from Maharashtra (972) followed by Kerala (853), Rajasthan (629), Andhra Pradesh (430), Uttarakhand (300), Odisha (125), Tamil Nadu (110), Bihar (104), Assam & Gujarat (100 each), Himachal Pradesh & Karnataka (80 each), West Bengal (70) and Punjab (50) (Table 2.7). Special jail Special jail means any prison provided for the confinement of a particular class or particular classes of prisoners which are broadly as follows:

i) Prisoners who have committed serious violations of prison discipline.

ii) Prisoners showing tendencies towards violence and aggression.

iii) Difficult discipline cases of habitual offenders.

Out of the ten States having Special jails, Kerala has the highest (9 jails) followed by Tamil Nadu (5), West Bengal

(3), Gujarat, Karnataka, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh (2 each), Assam, Bihar and Maharashtra (1 each) (Table 1.2). As far as the available capacity in these jails is concerned, the highest capacity for keeping the prisoners was available in Bihar (3,288) followed by Odisha (1,551), Kerala (851), West Bengal (841), Uttar Pradesh (788), Gujarat (650), Tamil Nadu (590), Assam (372), Karnataka (250) and Maharashtra (246) in their Special jails.

Chapter 2

Inmate population and Overcrowding in prisons An important aspect of prison administration is the population of inmates that the authorities have to handle in the prisons. One thing that comes out strikingly on the basis of available data is that the jails are over-crowded. Data relating to the population of both male and female inmates are collected from the prison authorities in order to find

the relationship in terms of occupancy/overcrowding between the capacity available in prisons and the actual number of prison inmates. The occupancy in any jail changes on daily basis due to addition of new prisoners and release of old ones, nevertheless, an estimate of population of inmates at the end of the year would serve as a good indicator to determine the occupancy rate.

# Occupancy Rate = Inmate population x 100

Total capacity Occupancy rate 100 shows overcrowding in prisons.


occupancy rate defined as number of inmates staying in jails against the authorized capacity for 100 inmates has been calculated to determine the 'Crowding in Prisons'. It is evident as per the information available from States/UTs regarding population of inmates in various prisons (Table 2(A)), that the prison population was satisfactorily managed during the year 2012 in 13 States and 5 UTs as the occupancy rate in these States/UTs remained less than 100%. These States and UTs are Haryana (99.9%), Maharashtra (99.4%), Uttrakhand (99.2%), Gujarat (94.8%), Andhra Pradesh (88.2%), Jammu & Kashmir (87.7%), Bihar (81.3%), Manipur (74.5%), Chandigarh (73.4%), Odisha (71.4%), Tripura (68.2%), Puducherry (68.0%), Mizoram (65.1%), D&N Haveli (61.7%), Tamil Nadu (60.1%), Nagaland (27.4%), Daman & Diu (20.8%) and Lakshadweep (0.0%). Chhattisgarh has reported the highest overcrowding (252.6%) followed by Delhi (193.8%), Uttar Pradesh (169.0%), Punjab (133.4%), Meghalaya (131.3%), Madhya Pradesh (127.7%), Arunachal Pradesh (126.8%), Jharkhand (124.5%), Goa (119.5%), Rajasthan (116.6%), Sikkim (114.0%), Himachal Pradesh (105.5%), Kerala (104.4%), Assam (103.7%), A&N Islands (101.5%), West Bengal (100.7%) and Karnataka (100.3%). Capacity for male and female inmates and their occupancy rate in various Jails for the year 2012 in respect of States/UTs are also presented in Table 2.1. It is observed that the occupancy rate of such prisons during the period under consideration was high against the available capacity for the female inmates in the State of Uttarakhand (153.6%) followed by Chhattisgarh (150.3%), Delhi (135.0%), Goa (112.0%), Jharkhand (106.9%) and Uttar Pradesh (102.8%). Chart 2.1 depicts the actual male and female inmates in different States/UTs at the end of the year 2012.

Chart 2.2 depicts comparative position of occupancy rates at the end of the year 2011 and 2012. The occupancy rate at All India level at the end of 2011 was 112.1% which remained almost same at 112.2% at the end of the year 2012. Only two States reporting further overcrowding in their prisons were Meghalaya (107.5% in 2011 to 131.3% in 2012) and Rajasthan (100.5% in 2011 to 116.6% in 2012). The States / UTs where the inmate population was still more than the available capacity, although the overcrowding declined at the end of 2012, were A & N Islands (from 362.1% in 2011 to 101.5% in 2012), Chhattisgarh (from 256.3% in 2011 to 252.6% in 2012), Delhi (from 194.0% in 2011 to 193.8% in 2012), Uttar Pradesh (from 175.1% in 2011 to 169.0% in 2012), Punjab (from 149.1% in 2011 to 133.4% in 2012), Madhya Pradesh (from 128.2% in 2011 to 127.7% in 2012), Jharkhand (from 128.1% in 2011 to 124.5% in 2012), Goa (from 123.8% in 2011 to 119.5% in 2012) and Assam (from 109.6% in 2011 to 103.7% in 2012).
