\n

Over the past one decade of Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s rule in India, prisons in occupied Jammu amd Kashmir reported the highest proportions of 86 percent of under-trials as against an overall 76 per cent of under-trials in prisons across India in 2022.<\/p>\n

This was revealed by Prison Watch, a Mumbai-based data portal, in its fresh report. In India, the proportions of under-trials in prisons increased from 66% in 2012 to 76 % in 2022 while IIOJK saw an increase of upto 86 % in the same period. The compiled data include demographic information, age, duration of confinement, and the nature of the crimes involved.<\/p>\n

Alongside under-trials, the share of overall detainees from occupied Jammu and Kashmir also witnessed a massive increase during the period. A primary contributing factor to this trend is the indiscriminate arrests carried out by Indian police without proper consideration.<\/p>\n

Other factors such as limited access to legal assistance and difficulties in meeting bail conditions contribute to the heightened likelihood of underprivileged individuals spending time in prison without being convicted.<\/p>\n

In Indian prisons, a majority of the under-trials belong to oppressed caste groups including the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC). Caste prejudices and over-policing of certain communities are important social factors behind the significant presence of marginalised caste groups in jails, the report mentioned.<\/p>\n

While this figure rose each year, the greatest rise was seen in the pandemic year of 2020, when undertrial prisoner share rose from 69% to 76%.\u2014KMS<\/p>\n
