(b): State/UT-wise number of prisoners acquitted by Courts during the years 2016, 2017 and 2018 are given in Annexure-IV.

Administration  and  management  of  prisons  is  the  responsibility  of  respective State Governments who are competent to take appropriate steps to safeguard the  human  rights  of  inmates,  arising  out  of  various  situations.  However,  the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued various advisories to States and UTs for  adoption  of  measures  to  improve  the  condition  of  prisons  and,  inter-alia, address the issue of overcrowding, sanitation, medical assistance and physical as well as psychological well being of inmates. A Model Prison Manual, 2016 has also been circulated to all States and UTs, which provides detailed guidance to them  on  wide  ranging  issues  of  prison  reforms  like  Custodial  Management, Welfare of Prisoners, Medical Care and Maintenance of Prisoners etc.

(e)  &  (f):  Yes,  Sir.  Presently,  there  are  77  open  prisons  in  the  country  as  on 31.12.2018. In the Model Prison Manual, 2016 circulated to all States and UTs by MHA, there is a chapter on 'Open Institutions', which provides detailed guidance on establishing Open Prisons. 'Prisons' being a 'State' subject, States and UTs are competent to set up open prisons in their jurisdictions.
