## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR)

(a)  to  (e):    State/UT wise details of natural and unnatural  death of prison inmates for the years 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 are given at  Annex  I.

'Prisons'  is  a  State  subject  as  per  entry  4  of  List  II  of  the  Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India. The administration and management of prisons is primarily the responsibility of respective State Governments. However, the Government of India has been providing regular guidance and advice to  the  States  and  UTs  in  the  matter  of  prison  administration  and management.  The  guidelines/advisories  issued  by  MHA  are  available  at MHA's website http://mha1.nic.in/PrisonReforms/advisiory.html. The Ministry of Home Affairs had also prepared a Model Prison Manual in 2016 and  had  forwarded  it  to  all  States/UTs.    The  Manual  provides  detailed guidance to the States on maintenance of prisoners, medical care, welfare of prisoners, prison discipline, and women prisoners etc.
