In pre-modern and modern societies alike it has been seen as the most basic unit of social organization and one which carries out vital tasks. However, such tasks could be performed only when two adults of the opposite sex form an integral part of the household and fulfill their respective role obligations. If any one of the member is displaced as is the case with imprisonment, family will run the risk of being non functional and many a times dysfunctional. This in turn will adversely affect the achievement of individual and social goals. To many in our society, the impact of imprisonment on prisoners" family is a matter of little or no importance. Prisoners do not exist in vacuum. They may serve the prison sentence alone but almost all of them are members of family, kin and friendship networks. While prisoners experience the primary effects of incarceration their families are subjected to the secondary effects. The impact of incarceration...

In this initiative, Corporate Social Responsibility is the commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working with employees, their families, the local community and society at large to improve their quality of life. But In India, the CSR managers face number of challenges in managing CSR activities. Many companies assume that corporate social responsibility is a peripheral issue for their business; and customer satisfaction is more important for them. They imagine that customer satisfaction is now only about price and service, but they fail to point out on important changes that are taking place worldwide that could blow the business out of the water.

Prisoners do not represent a homogeneous segment of society. Many have lived at the margins of society, are poorly educated and come from socio-economically disadvantaged groups. They often have unhealthy lifestyles and addictions such as alcoholism, smoking and drug use, which contribute to poor general health and put them at risk of disease. The prevalence of mental health problems is very high and some prisoners are seriously mentally ill and should be in psychiatric facility rather than in prison. The rise in prison population has resulted in overcrowding and communicable diseases, such as HIV and Tuberculosis are more prevalent in prisons than in the community. Many prisoners have had no contact, or very limited contact, with health services in the community before they were detained in prison. The situation is further more pathetic among women prisoners. Women wh...

The latest technologies not only make practical tasks quicker, more efficient and more functional, but also enhance the perception of police as high-tech crime fighters. From the perspective of society as a whole, the best and most useful task that law enforcement agencies can carry out is crime prevention such as surveillance, crime analysis, and offender tracking. Police surveillance is one activity justified by its potential effect on crime prevention. New technological innovations have been developed to prevent crime and to improve the performance of the police. In India despite the adoption of seemingly sophisticated technologies and methodologies, police investigational work remains relatively low-tech. Changes in both the hard and soft technology of policing appear to be transforming local, state, and federal policing departments in a ...

But most prisoners do not exist in a vacuum. They are members of family, kin and friendship networks. While prisoners experience the primary effects of detention and deprivation of liberty, their families live their lives in the shadow of prison having social stigma, economic burden and psychological deprivations. This shadow is cast not only over individuals but also over entire communities. The partners and children of prisoners experience the effects of imprisonment most acutely during sentence but also often have to cope with the manifold challenges posed by prisoners release and community re-entry. In this backdrop, this paper is an attempt to highlight the issues concerning imprisonment its dimensions and consequences of imprisonment over prisoners their family me...

The functioning of prisons has a direct link with the performance of its staff. The prisoners and prisons staff constitute a group within which their behaviour with each other as well as with the authorities is of great importance. Prisons staff have several roles with a focus on control and security within a high risk environment balanced with health care for people with complex characteristics. They have to dispense their services in the prevailing environment of overcrowding, congestion, and inadequacy of prisons staff. They have to face many times the different attitudes and threats of hardcore professional criminals. Thus, the prison authorities find maintaining law and order as one of the most difficult and challenging task in the prisons. These challenges affect not only their performance appraisal but also their own wellbeing and family life. In ...
