In Jail there are different types of Prisoners such as under trial prisoners, convicts, detenues^[1], women and other genders these people are also victim of prison life in India, they face harassment and exploitations which are hellacious on human life. There has been great advantage and disadvantage of Article 22 in India. Such as, Article 22 states that it has right against arrest and detention. Whereas, its own clause 3 paves way for illegal detention in India provoking ill-mannered, felonious and unlawful acts towards the prisoners and accused. Today the deprived living of Prisoners inside the Jail is the indicia that the constitutional provisions are turn about to be unconstitutional facing custodial rape, abuse, torture, death, unhealth, overcrowding of prisoners in Jail. All prisoners are entitled to basic fundamental rights and dignity inside the jail anybody acting against this need to be effectively punished and revivified to Prisoners to live with decency. We need to create awareness and voice out so that we can create better society with free bird and other citizens commonly for our generation.
