The Criminal Justice System of our Country is plagued with many serious issues, which are all interconnected and have become so complex that it has become a herculean problem to find solution and then implement that solution to them. One such problem is, and a serious one at that, is the Under trial prisoners (hereinafter mentioned as UTPs). It is not unknown to the people that the Jails in our Country have been overflowing with the UTPs. These people who are kept in jail to wait for their trial, often spend as long as their actual punishment of the offence they are accused of and that also when our criminal justice system follows the principal that accused supposedly presumed to be innocent until he has been proved to be guilty beyond reasonable doubts. In this Article, we shall look at the plight of these UTPs and the possible suggestions that the society and the Government can implement so as to reduce this menace, after understanding as to why this problem as become what it is today.
