1.India has a total of 1380+ jails with a total capacity of  around 333,333 convicts.
2.The last jail reform was proposed in 1980!
3.a Indian prisoners' challenge- Social rehab.
3.b. Government's challenge- 2% of the prisoners are interested to change themselves.
4.Rapists are condemned, get repeatedly attacked and sexually violated inside the jail(You may take delight in that but that is also a violation of law.)
5.at least 20 prisoners have committed suicide in Tihar in the last 10 years.Which means 1 suicide in every 6 months!
6.Something to smile about-
There is an open-air model jail in Himachal Pradesh's Bilaspur town.
Dozens of its convicts leave their cells in the morning and go out to work in the town - as masons, labourers, salesmen, accountants, and similar.
No police personnel accompany them, and they are free to work until sunset.
Surprisingly, there has been only one instance in the last 50 years when an inmate did not return to the prison in the evening
