SUPREME COURT SHOCKED AT OVER 600 PER CENT OVERCROWDING IN JAILS

The Supreme Court said that it is unfortunate that the prisons are overcrowded, and they also have human rights and they cannot be kept in jails like animals. The Court also said that it is clearly suggests the complete lack of commitment of the State Governments and the Union Territories to the human rights of prisoners and also indicates the failure of the Under Trial Review Committees to take their responsibilities seriously, and directed the states and Union Territories to give their comments in two weeks on Standard Operating Procedures for the UTRCs, prepared in consultation with National Legal Service Authority (NALSA), so that they can work effectively and efficiently.
