Foreword

During the ancient times, Prisons were considered as a House of Captives where theprisoners 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 allsections 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 anenvironment of hospit l for their tre tment nd c re. This principle has become a State Policyin 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," PrisonStatistics India 2012", is the eighteenth in the series of annual publication. This publicationcontains 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

Prison Institution

Introduction

Prison institutions are one of thethree main constituents of the criminaljustice system. In recent times there hasbeen considerable change in socialperception towards the prisoners. Theprisons are no longer regarded as placesfor punishment only. They are now beingconsidered as reformatories and greaterattention is being given to ameliorate the

conditions in jails so that they have ahealthy impact on the prisoners indeveloping a positive attitude towards lifeand society. The ultimate purpose is tointegrate the prisoners in the society aftertheir release from the prison.

A comprehensive database hasbeen developed at the national level on allaspects of these institutions which hasbeen found to be of immense use to theprison authorities in planning variousactivities connected with the prisonadministration. The input forms have beenreviewed and made more comprehensivein 2000 to collect data on every aspect ofprison activities. This report for the year2012 is the eighteenth issue in the series.

Chapter2

Inmate population and Overcrowding in prisons

An important aspect of prisonadministration is the population of inmatesthat the authorities have to handle in theprisons. One thing that comes out strikinglyon the basis of available data is that thejails are over-crowded.

Data relating to the population ofboth male and female inmates are collectedfrom the prison authorities in order to find

the relationship in terms ofoccupancy/overcrowding between thecapacity available in prisons and the actualnumber of prison inmates. The occupancyin any jail changes on daily basis due toaddition of new prisoners and release of oldones, nevertheless, an estimate ofpopulation of inmates at the end of the yearwould serve as a good indicator todetermine the occupancy rate.

Occupancy rate 100 shows overcrowding in prisons.


48/262


occupancy rate defined as number ofinmates staying in jails against theauthorized capacity for 100 inmates hasbeen calculated to determine the 'Crowdingin Prisons'.

It is evident as per the informationavailable from States/UTs regardingpopulation of inmates in various prisons(Table 2(A)), that the prison populationwas satisfactorily managed during theyear 2012 in 13 States and 5 UTs as theoccupancy rate in these States/UTsremained less than 100%. These Statesand 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 thehighest overcrowding (252.6%) followedby 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%), HimachalPradesh (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 femaleinmates and their occupancy rate invarious Jails for the year 2012 in respectof States/UTs are also presented in Table

2.1.It is observed that the occupancy rateof such prisons during the period underconsideration was high against theavailable capacity for the female inmatesin 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 maleand female inmates in different States/UTsat the end of the year 2012.

Chart 2.2 depicts comparativeposition of occupancy rates at the end ofthe year 2011 and 2012. The occupancyrate at All India level at the end of 2011 was112.1% which remained almost same at112.2% at the end of the year 2012. Onlytwo States reporting further overcrowding intheir prisons were Meghalaya (107.5% in2011 to 131.3% in 2012) and Rajasthan(100.5% in 2011 to 116.6% in 2012). TheStates / UTs where the inmate populationwas still more than the available capacity,although the overcrowding declined at theend of 2012, were A & N Islands (from362.1% in 2011 to 101.5% in 2012),Chhattisgarh (from 256.3% in 2011 to252.6% 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% in2012), Madhya Pradesh (from 128.2% in2011 to 127.7% in 2012), Jharkhand (from128.1% 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 to103.7% in 2012).
