LACK OF RATIONAL APPROACH BY GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY TOWARD CORRECTIONS PROBLEMS IS OBSTACLE TO IMPLEMENTATION OF MINIMUM RULES FOR TREATMENT OF PRISONERS IN INDIA.
Abstract
ADOPTION OF THE MINIMUM RULES PRESUPPOSES AN INTEGRATED ADMINISTRATIVE MACHINERY AT BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE LEVELS, ACCEPTANCE OF A NATIONAL SOCIAL DEFENSE POLICY REFLECTED IN CORRECTIONAL PLANNING WITH SUITABLE PRIORITIES AND RESOURCES, SUFFICIENT PROPERLY TRAINED PERSONNEL, A RESEARCH BASE, AND THE COMPILATION OF STATISTICS. IT ALSO DEMANDS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, UNDERSTANDING, SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION AT VARIOUS STAGES OF TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION. AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED
