Uttar Pradesh CM renames UP prisons as 'Reform Homes' in June 2023.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while reviewing the condition of prisons in a high-level meeting, gave important guidelines towards prison reform.
The guidelines stated that the prisons will be known as 'Sudhaar Grah' (Reform Homes).
In the present time, the Jail Act of 1894 and the Prisoners Act of 1900 are in effect concerning prisoners detained in jail.
Both of these acts have been in practice since before independence, and many of their provisions do not align with changing circumstances and a rehabilitative ideology for prisoners.
The objective of the Prison Act of 1894 is to maintain discipline and control over offenders in custody, but we need to focus on reform and rehabilitation.
