A Socio Legal study of Prolonged

Incarceration of Under Trials in India


Abstract
Prolonged incarceration during trial refers to long-term incarceration or incarceration of an
individual that is longer than usual or is on trial. Inmates in process are inmates who have
been in judicial detention but are awaiting investigation and trial by the competent authority
determined. There are several reasons why such an extension will continue to exist. Some of
the causes are indiscriminate arrests, insolvency or non-payment of public debt, delayed
police investigations, delayed trials and the failure of legal aid systems to function.
Considering the statistics, the consequences of such incarceration will have enormous
implications not only for individuals and their families, but also for society as a whole. This
study aims to focus on the main legal interpretations arising from the phrase "prolonged trial
detention" and the position of such prisoners in India's Criminal Procedure Code. It is
important to focus on the fact that corrective actions must be taken alongside reforms in light
of the impact of prolonged imprisonment on life on trial, families on trial and society as a
whole to ensure justice.
