Crime and punishment are very sensitive issues and every civilised society aspires of crime-free environment and suitable punishment for the offender. At the same time a civilized society craves for protection of basic human rights of prisoners. Article 39-A of the Constitution of India mandates legal aid to all eligible persons including the prisoners and it is, thus, the duty of the legal services Institution to protect and promote their legal and constitutional rights. I am very optimistic that this work of JHALSA will be used by the Bench and Bar alike. It will not only be a useful book for the DLSAs and Remand Advocates of the State, but, would also be useful for the human rights activists who keep vigilant eye on the persons under vulnerable circumstances including prisoners.
