The globalisation of crime has cast its shadow on the effectiveness and adequacy of the traditional policies, practices and procedures, not only in law enforcement but also in correction and rehabilitation like other components of criminal justice system. As a consequence of ever-increasing crime rate in many countries penal institutions have become overcrowded. Thereby confinement in over crowding jails not only imperils the enjoyment of the basic rights of a prisoner but also in many cases intensifies or hardens his criminal tendencies. A penal institute is often described as a “school of crime”. Correctional Institutes to come up to our expectation- as presently they do need correction themselves specially to inculcate the feelings that the inmates within four walls call cell, jail or whatever name may be, are also human being and spirit of “Tokyo Rules 1960” to make the institutes adopt more humane attitude in their dealings with the inmates. Policy makers must recognise the importance of prison system and the work for the much needed reforms need to be taken up in right earnest. To increase their awareness about the psychological, theoretical and technical aspects of imprisonment- so to say- the vital need for correcting the correctional institutes have become a must and the earlier it is realised the better for the new generation in the coming millenium.
