The prison officials presented the issues arising in the wake of the new act and the process being adopted by the Prisons Department of Telangana to tune its procedures and practices in tune with the Act.
Dr Soumya Mishra remarked that the present legislation governing the prisons in the country viz. The Prisons Act, of 1894 and the Prisoners Act of 1900 are more than a century old, and it was therefore felt that these Acts need to be updated and replaced by a progressive and robust Act which is in tune with contemporary modern-day needs and correctional ideology.
