Imprisonment is the hallmark of the Indian penal system of all countries in the modern world, and its use has grown rapidly over the decades. The purpose of this study is to analyze the rights of prisoners under Indian law. The research focuses on the historical context, the constitutional and statutory provisions of prisoners based on case law. Moreover, the rights enjoyed by detainees under Articles 14, 19 and 21, although limited, are not static and will become human when a situation arises. The unique characteristics of prisons have wider implications for the treatment of clients in this context. Indian prison systems are no better because the economic conditions do not allow to evolve towards better prison management methods. Therefore, the reconstruction of prisons in India requires special attention. All men are born equal and are endowed by the creator with certain fundamental rights. These rights are mainly the right to life and liberty, but if a person does not comply with the ethics of the society, that person is deprived of these rights with appropriate sanctions. Women play a vital role in society. The important role she plays is the ability of the mother. The constitution of India confers equal status on women in India. After a long struggle, society has recognized that there are prisoners’ rights that should be available to them. The main purpose of prisons is to bring the offender back into the mainstream of society. If a person commits a crime, it does not mean that by committing a crime he ceases to be a human being and can deprive himself of those aspects of life which constitute human dignity. detainees have the right to know the reason for their arrest and the reasons for their arrest. The article presents the centrality of respect and the recognition of human nobility, and studies the ways in which respect can be embodied in the prison condition.
