Prison Management System

Abstract

This project titled “Prison Management System” aims at providing management software for handling the inner working of Tihar Jail across the country. Since Tihar Jail already offers certain recreational facilities, employment opportunities and educational prospects with an official degree, however on my research, I realized that there was no inner management system for handling all activities taking place within the prison premises and could use a lot of improvisation. The report is based on 5 main sections- Introduction and Motivation, Literature Review, Design Modules, Implementation, Benefits and Scalability. Introduction and Motivation deals with the details of facilities offered with aim of transformation of prisoners so that they don’t resort to their criminal ways, it also elaborates the inspiration taken from Kiran Bedi, former IPS who had a vision of transforming criminals into civilized human beings. The next section- Literature Review contains details of 2 papers and 1 case study I went through before creating design structure for my project. The two papers were one of Texas Prison System and Mumbai Prison System for Arthur Jail Road for have a grasp of both national and international facilities regarding the subject. PRISMS- the Prison Management System for Goa was the case study I went through since it received rave reviews since its establishment. The third section entails the four main design modules for my project namely- Types of Tasks, Sentence Serving, Parole and Interview Handling, and Complaint Handling. It also contains how each of these modules will be implemented and what features they offer. The four section deals with the implementation of the project and the tools used. The fifth section shows the benefits of the software and how it will ease the managing of activities within the jail premises. The last section is about how the project can be expanded to include additional features, new methodologies, and how it can be modified to different jail systems all across the country.
