In a significant development for the correctional system in Ranchi, a dedicated jail court session was organized at the Birsa Munda Central Jail, leading to the liberation of three prisoners. This innovative approach brings the courtroom to the inmates, streamlining the judicial process and ensuring timely justice. The court’s presence within the jail premises allowed for a swift review of specific cases, identifying eligible candidates for release based on legal provisions. The release of these three individuals marks a positive step towards decongesting the prison and ensuring that justice is served efficiently. Officials hope this model of ‘court-within-a-jail’ will be replicated to benefit a larger number of inmates, providing them with a fair chance for early parole or acquittal. The focus remains on judicial accessibility for all, including those deprived of liberty.
