In a bid to reform the condition of prisons across the state and especially to secure the rights of women prisoners, the Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra Legal Services Authority (MLSA) to conduct a survey for suggestions from jail inmates in the matter.

A special bench of Justices Mridula Bhatkar and Revati Mohite-Dere, constituted by the High Court to look solely into implementing prison reforms across the state, passed the order last week.
