Pakistan is a country with over 225 million people and a total prison population of 82,139; negligible numbers, right? Now, that is just one side of the decaying prison and justice system. The data on juvenile jails and the actual inmates is extremely unbalanced. This is not simply the failure of the state’s justice system; these numbers depict our collective failure as a society and as a nation.
