Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Kumar Mishra said the Ministry is planning to improve infrastructure at prisons and put in place a standardised management system for prisoners across the country by the year 2047 as part of the Central government’s Amrit Kaal-Vision 2047 programme.

As part of this approach, the Ministry will study the New Prison Manual 2016 which is a 32-chapter draft that aims to bring about basic uniformity in the laws, rules, and regulations governing the management of prisons and the management of prisoners across the country.
