Main problems in jails are overcrowding, corruption, lack of properly trained jail staff, attitude and orientation of jail administration, etc. The prison administration needs to be detached from police set-up and a separate department of correctional administration needs to be established. The officers of jail administration should have training and inclination in social sciences, humanities, and management. Around 1,200-1,500 new prisoners enter the prisons daily while around 300 prisoners get out of the jail. In this manner, the Tihar Jail officials handle one lakh prisoners in a year.
