This is a system designed to give guidance and assistance to those who have committed crimes or those who have turned to juvenile delinquency so
that they can become sound members of the society while spending normal social lives; the system is carried out in cooperation with the nation and
the volunteers.

5. NEEDOF THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES

6. A PERSON IS NOT A BORN CRIMINAL. IT IS DUE TO HIS ASSOCIATION WITH BAD
COMPANY THAT OFTEN LEADS HIM INTO TROUBLE. A PERSON IS ALWAYS CAPABLE OF
REFORMING PROVIDED HE SEES HIS RELEASE IN THE SOCIETY AS A REWARD FOR IT. IF NO
SUCH TEMPTATION IS PROVIDED TO ACCUSED PERSONS, HE WILL NEVER TRY TO REFORM
HIMSELF AND ALWAYS LANGUISH IN JAILS. THIS OFTEN LEADS TO OVERCROWDING OF
PRISONS AND SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES ARISE IN THE PRISONS AND SERIOUS HEALTH
ISSUES ARISE IN THE PRISONS. IT IS TO BE NOTED THAT THE CORRECTIVE METHODS ARE
REQUIRED FOR THE ACCUSED PERSONS AND NOT FOR UNDER TRIALS. A MECHANISM
HAS TO PREPARED FOR SEPARATING UNDER TRIALS FROM CONVICTS. DUE TO VARIOUS
CORRECTIVE MEASURES A CONVICT CAN BE REFORMED AND BE RELEASED IN THE
SOCIETY BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO REFORM A CONVICT THAN TO PUNISH A
PERSON WHO IS ALREADY REPENTING FOR HIS WRONGDOING. IT IS ULTIMATELY THE
FIGHT AGAINST CRIME AND NOT CRIMINALS.

10. METHODS OF REHABILITATION
A Successful rehabilitation of a prisoner is also helped if convicted persons:
• are not placed in health-threateningly bad conditions, enjoy access to medical
care and are protected from other forms of serious ill-treatment.
• are able to maintain ties to the outside world.
• learn new skills to assist them with working life on the outside.
• enjoy clear and detailed statutory regulations clarifying the safeguards
applicable and governing the use and disposal of any record of data relation to
criminal matters.

THEM A CHANCETO CHANGETHEM, SOCIETY WON'T BE WILLINGTO ACCEPT THEM. IN SUCH SCENARIOS,
PUNISHMENT ISTHE BETTER OPTION, AND LAWS LIKE LIFE SENTENCE OR DEATH SENTENCE COME INTO PLAY.
2. COST OFTHE PROCESS: WHILE MOST OF US DO NOT KNOWTHIS BUTTO HOLD A PRISONER IN PRISON COSTS
MORETHAN A PERSON THAT IS LIVING A NORMAL LIFE WITH COMMON AND AVERAGE EXPENSES. THEREFORE,
SOMETIMES REHABILITATION BECOMES A BETTER OPTION BUTTHE FACTTHAT REHABILITATION ANDTHETHINGS
WHICH MAKE UPTHE CONCEPT OF REHABILITATION STARTS AND ENDS WITH SOME MONETARY VALUE INVOLVED
TO IT.
3. SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE: HOWEVER, PUNISHMENT SEEMS TO BE ATERMTHAT SIGNIFIESTHE DARK SIDE OFTHE
SYSTEM, BUTTHERE ARE CASES WHENTHE ONLY OPTION LEFT INTHE HANDS OF JUDGES ISTO ANNOUNCE A
PUNISHMENT. REHABILITATION IS CONSIDERED AS A MUCH BETTER CONCEPT AS NOT ONLY IT SAVES THE
CRIMINALS FROM FURTHERTRAUMA BUT ALSO OFFER THEM A CHANCETO MAKE AND BUILD UP A BETTER LIFE FOR
THEMSELVES ANDTHEIR FAMILIES.
