Abstract

Women have faced several ups and downs in their social status. In present society also, the condition of women is not so good. There are various rights for the women to improve their social status but they are unknown to them due to patriarchal society and lack of education. So, their status is still deplorable in the society. Yet, there are various great women who are willingly enjoying their rights and socially empowered and they are making the glorious name of our country, but the ratio of these women are very few. Most of the women are dependent on their father, sons or husbands. The study of women criminality is neglected and it is not the primary area of research for the researchers. As few women are involved in the criminality and very few go to the prison, but the ratio is increasing day by day. There are several rights of women prisoners but seems to only on papers and only for specific section of the society. This present paper focuses on the rights of women prisoners in India as they are myth or reality or whether they are followed in the prison environment or they are only on the government records. The researcher has used secondary method of data analysis for her study.
