Prisoners are also a part of our society and they are also having the right to enjoy all these rights mentioned in the Constitution of India. Their rights as well as justice cannot be curtailed. As we know that prisoners are neglected by the society since time immemorial and their condition is very pathetic till now. Delay of justice system is one of the main reasons for violation of prisoners right.

It is also important to understand that every crime has a different type of punishment and also it is essential to maintain the uniformity of justice. Punishment should be based on the gravity of the offences.
