JAIL MAIL: PRISONS AND PARLIAMENT 2018

This newsletter is in continuation of our earlier Jail Mail (view here) on questions asked in the Monsoon Session of the Parliament. You may recollect that in that session, which was held in July-August 2017, the Members of Parliament asked 24 questions relating to prisons and prisoners. The winter session of parliament was held from 15th December 2017 to 05th January 2018 and saw 16 questions on prisons which ranged from prison deaths, overcrowding, access to legal aid for prisoners, and bail and repatriation of prisoners
