FWIW, I'm an Indian living in India, and I share your prejudices of Indian prisons. I have no direct or indirect accounts of Indian prisons. In fact, I googled just now, and found out that a large fraction of the prisoners are sufferers of diseases that are otherwise easily treatable. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3868089/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3868089/ > A total of 252 (84%) prisoners had anemia. Clearly, some of those who belong in prisons are on the wrong side of the bars. Oh, and also, I will never trust Indian government reports or government info websites when they are reporting about their state of affairs.
