In a move expected to unclog the prisons, the Centre has decided to launch a special scheme to provide financial support to poor people suffering in jails as they are unable to afford the penalty or the bail amount. This will enable poor prisoners, majority of whom belong to socially disadvantaged or marginalised groups with lower education and income level, to get out of prison. The broad contours of the scheme - Support for Poor Prisoners - have been finalised in consultation with stakeholders. To ensure the benefits of the scheme reach the poor prisoners, technology-driven solutions will be put in place, E-prisons platform will be reinforced and District Legal Services Authority will be strengthen, besides stakeholders will be sensitised and stress will be given on capacity building.
