B. Educational Standard :-
As per data compiled, majority of the prison population (around 64%) has education below class-X, thus proving the linkage between educational
standard and criminality. Lesser the literacy more the crime seems to be the trend. The illiterates population constitute only 21.27% of the
total population because of literacy programme being vigorously carried out in jails.. Most of the prisoners in this category are new comers.
The Prison administration is taking every possible step to increase the literacy rate of the prisoners. There are centers of National Institutes of
Open Schooling and Indira Gandhi National Open University to impart education to prisoners. More emphasis on Academic education is given in
adolescents and female prisoners. Adult education classes are being organized in every jail. Table-B reflects the education standards of the
prisoners at the time of their admission in jail.

There is timely and complete production of undertrials before the court so that a trial is not prolonged because of non attendance of a
prisoner. The escort for the prisoners is being provided by Delhi Armed Police.
Special courts are being regularly organized at Tihar Court Complex for disposal of minor offences where the undertrial is ready to
confess his crime before the Magistrate who is holding the court on every third Saturday. Care is taken so that no habitual prisoner may
take advantage of special courts for which the list of prisoners is first scanned by fingerprint bureau of crime branch, Delhi Police.
A list of undertrials who have been granted bail by the courts but are unable to furnish surety is being compiled on weekly basis so that if
the court thinks it proper the prisoner could be released on relax surely condition or on personal bond.
Cases of seriously sick prisoners are being taken up with trial courts for their release on bail as per law.
Directions have been issued to Jail Superintendents to ensure that no prisoner is unnecessarily detained by the staff because of
inaccuracy of case particulars on release warrants. In this regard, detailed guidelines have been issued by Prison Headquarters.
The below mentioned table reflect the average period of detention of undertrials as on 31.12.2015.
Around 36.11% of the undertrial population is released within three months of their arrival.

like murder, rape, terrorist activities.
