The budgetary provision for the financial year 2017 was 7299$ (Rs.492463) in USA and Rs.515763 lakhs in 2015-16 in India. Thus incarcerated population which is 1/4th of the Indian arrestees are getting mostly same amount of budgets for their reformation and prison managements. Developed country’s correctional services are mostly reformation and rehabilitation based through community involvements and having statutory backups, thus having better infrastructure, health and vocational parameters.
