    Dr. Soumya Mishra highlighted that the current laws governing prisons in India, such as the Prisons Act of 1894 and the Prisoners Act of 1900, are over 100 years old. She emphasized that these outdated laws need to be replaced with a modern and progressive Act that better meets today’s needs and supports correctional reform.
