1- Legislative Reform for Petty Crimes
Transforming Prisons: From Punishment to Redemption. We want to transform prisons from centers of punitive justice to places of reformation and redemption, grounded in dignity, rehabilitation, purpose, and hope.
Advocate for laws enabling first-time petty offenders (involving theft or minor crimes up to Rs. 10,000) to pay a fine, or complete court-mandated community service instead of imprisonment.
Address prison overcrowding caused by minor offenses and prevent exposure of petty offenders to hardened criminals, reducing the escalation of crime cycles
Collaborate with lawmakers to establish legal alternatives.Channel fines collected into funding rehabilitation and reintegration programs.
Divert up to 50% of petty crime cases from prison. Reduce the social and economic damage caused by unnecessary imprisonment. Foster a culture of second chances and meaningful reform.
2- Prisoner Segregation for Rehabilitation
Introduce a prisoner classification system to prevent petty offenders and first-time convicts from being housed with drug dealers and hardened criminals.
Overcrowding without proper segregation increases recidivism and undermines rehabilitation efforts. Petty offenders are often negatively influenced in environments dominated by hardened criminals
Classify prisoners based on offense severity and rehabilitation needs.Implement segregation measures without requiring additional housing structures, optimizing existing resources.
Achieve a 30% reduction in recidivism among petty offenders by 2028.Foster safer prison environments that are conducive to meaningful rehabilitation and reform.
3-Prisoner Certification & Clearance for Employment
Develop a classification and certification system to assess rehabilitation progress and provide reformed prisoners with an employability tag on their police clearance reports.
Reformed prisoners face significant stigma and barriers to employment, despite demonstrating rehabilitation. Certification & police clearance classification will build trust and encourage employers to offer second chances, promoting successful reintegration into society.
Guide prisoners through RISE Framework, Conscience IQ, Values & Ethics embedded within the vocational training to foster transformation, accountability, and employability. Collaborate with law enforcement and employers to include certification on clearance reports as a marker of rehabilitation.
Employ 50% of certified prisoners by 2027. Achieve a 25% reduction in reoffending rates by addressing unemployment and the associated social challenges.
