Karnataka Election
Protecting constitutional values requires an independent judiciary.
For this, three issues need attention
The first involves the rejection by the government of the collegium‟s recommen
dation of K.M. Joseph, currently Chief Justice of the Uttarakhand High
Court, for elevation to the Supreme Court.
The second concerns the need for a systemic mechanism to deal with
allegations of corruption in the higher judiciary.
The third area of worry concerns the embroiled state of Chief Justice of
India Dipak Misra, his position as the master of the roster, and the critical
question of whether such powers ought to be vested in the hands of one
individual.
Protecting incarcerated(जेल मेंरखा) women
Prison conditions stops short of a practical agenda for major reforms.
While one reason cited is a paucity of resources, the other is about a mindset
that those in jail do not deserve better.
In prisons across the world,
• 1)-Overcrowding,
• 2)-Brutality(निर्दयता),
• 3)-A lack of sanitation
• 4)-Unacceptable standards of health
This is cause for concern given the growing aggressive nature of public
discourse on treatment of offenders
European Prison Rules have been modified to make treatment of prisoners
in all member nations more civilised.

The World Health Organisation in particular has expressed concern over the
reproductive health of women prisoners and the absence of maternal education
during pregnancy.
1)-It is sad that there is such a lack of empathy despite research that women
offenders are themselves victims of crime before they turn to crime
2)- Challenge is on protecting the children of women prisoners.
3)-Challenge is in protecting women inmates from sexual/ non-sexual violence
and their forceful initiation into substance abuse while in custody
In the ultimate analysis, prisons can be made safer for women only by a mindset
which is convinced that female offenders deserve compassion.
When this will happen is anybody‟s guess.
