Abstract

Prisons and correctional facilities were to punish the guilty and reform the person who committed the offence. These prisons can be said to represent the sovereign way of imposing sanctions on persons deviating from the law. Though these prisons are closed structures located on the outskirts of cities, they are part of the society and country, and the Constitution of India has equal applicability to prisons. However, the actual picture is completely different. The prisons are like a colonial territory run by obsolete laws, and once the person enters the prison, it seems like all his rights are stripped off, just like his clothes and dignity. The research focuses on analysing the medical and health care facilities in the Uttar Pradesh prison manual 2022 in the light of the model prison manual 2016, Prisons Act 1894 and other international and national related provisions.
