💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India directed the Rajasthan government not to alter the layout plan of an open-air prison in Jaipur, emphasizing its goal of reintegrating inmates into society. The court was examining a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) focused on addressing overcrowding and inhumane conditions in traditional prisons. Open prisons allow convicts to work outside during the day and return to the facility in the evening, aiding their assimilation with society.
