CollectionJail Breaks, Escapes, & Clashes in Prisons from Prison Statistics India Reports, NCRBThis collection of datasets, derived from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Prison Statistics India reports, provides a detailed record of prison security incidents and custodial breaches. It tracks the frequency of group clashes and violent conflicts within jails, specifically distinguishing between incidents involving firearms (historically classified as "Firings in Jails") and those occurring without them. The data provides a high-level view of institutional safety by documenting the resulting injuries and deaths of both inmates and jail personnel. Beyond internal violence, the collection monitors the integrity of the correctional system by tracking jail breaks and escapees from both judicial and police custody. It offers granular year-wise and state-wise insights into the number of prisoners who successfully escaped and the subsequent count of those rearrested. Together, these datasets serve as a critical resource for evaluating the effectiveness of prison surveillance, the risks of custodial transit, and the overall security environment of India's penal institutions.8 datasetsView →

CollectionPrisons - Types and Occupancy from Prison Statistics India Reports, NCRBThis collection of datasets, derived from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Prison Statistics India reports, provides a comprehensive structural analysis of the Indian correctional system’s capacity and workload. It features detailed longitudinal data on jail capacity, inmate population, and occupancy rates, serving as a primary resource for monitoring prison overcrowding and administrative efficiency across the country. The data is meticulously categorized by facility type, including Central, District, Sub, Women, Open, and Special Jails, as well as Borstal Schools, and is further broken down by year, state, and gender.23 datasetsView →

CollectionPrisoners - Types and Demography from Prison Statistics India Reports, NCRBThis comprehensive collection of datasets, derived from the annual Prison Statistics India (PSI) reports by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), provides a detailed analysis of the socio-demographic and legal landscape of India’s correctional system. The data is systematically categorised to track the composition of the prison population, including convicts, undertrials, detenues held under preventive laws like the NSA and PSA, and other inmates across all major facility types such as Central, District, Sub, Women, Open, and Special Jails, as well as Borstal Schools. Each dataset offers granular year-wise and state-wise insights into the social profile of prisoners, documenting their caste (SC, ST, OBC, and others), religious affiliation (Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and others), and educational background ranging from illiterate to post-graduate and technical degree holders. Furthermore, the collection monitors critical metrics such as the domicile status of inmates (local, out-of-state, or foreign nationals), age-group distributions, and the specific circumstances of women prisoners staying with children. By providing both raw numbers and percentage shares at the All-India level, these datasets serve as a vital resource for analysing institutional trends, prison overcrowding, and the representation of marginalised communities within the Indian penal system.56 datasetsView →

CollectionNCRB - Crimes Against Senior CitizensThis collection of datasets, extracted from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Crime in India reports, provides a comprehensive end-to-end analysis of the legal journey of crimes against senior citizens. It tracks the entire lifecycle of a case, beginning with police disposal status, documenting investigations, chargesheets submitted, and cases closed due to insufficient evidence or technical grounds (such as Section 157(1)(b) of the CrPC). The data is benchmarked against the Registrar General of India’s Census 2011 population figures to calculate essential metrics like the crime rate and chargesheet rate. The collection offers high granularity by categorising offences under major crime heads, including violent crimes (murder, rape, kidnapping), property offences (theft, robbery, fraud), and crimes specifically targeting elderly women. It further extends to the judicial disposal status, detailing court outcomes such as convictions, acquittals, discharges, and plea bargains. With additional gender-wise data on arrested persons, these datasets serve as a vital resource for policymakers and advocacy groups to evaluate the efficiency of law enforcement and the judicial system in protecting India’s elderly population.21 datasetsView →

CollectionDeaths and Illnesses in Prisons from Prison Statistics India Reports, NCRBThis collection of datasets, sourced from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Prison Statistics India reports, provides a detailed and sobering analysis of prisoner mortality and health within the Indian correctional system. The data offers a comprehensive classification of deaths, distinguishing between natural deaths (stemming from aging or specific illnesses), unnatural deaths (including suicide, murder by inmates, and negligence), and cases where the cause remains unknown. The collection provides highly granular insights into the medical health of inmates, documenting deaths from chronic and infectious conditions such as heart and lung disease, HIV, TB, cancer, and kidney failure, as well as mental health-related incidents and drug withdrawal. It also tracks accidental deaths caused by both environmental factors (forces of nature) and specific incidents like electrocution, drowning, or falls. Furthermore, the datasets detail the modes of institutional violence, including suicides and murders categorized by method, such as hanging, stabbing, or fighting. Available at both year-wise and state-wise levels, this collection is an indispensable resource for researchers and human rights advocates analysing custodial safety, prison healthcare quality, and the overall physical security of inmates in India.14 datasetsView →

CollectionPrison Staff Strength and Training from Prison Statistics India Reports, NCRBThis collection of datasets, derived from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Prison Statistics India reports, provides a detailed structural analysis of the human resources managing India’s correctional facilities. It tracks the year-wise and state-wise sanctioned and actual strength of jail personnel, highlighting critical gaps in the workforce through vacancy data and inmate-to-staff ratios. The data encompasses a wide range of roles, including high-level officers (DG, IG, Superintendent), jail cadre staff (Warders and Matrons), medical professionals, and ministerial staff. A significant focus of this collection is the representation of women among jail officers and staff, as well as the presence of specialised correctional personnel such as psychologists, social workers, and welfare officers. Additionally, the datasets monitor the professional development of the workforce by documenting the frequency and scale of training programs provided to jail staff. These insights are vital for researchers and policymakers evaluating administrative efficiency, staff welfare, and the overall capacity of the Indian penal system to provide secure and rehabilitative environments.10 datasetsView →

CollectionBalance of PaymentsBalance of Payments (BoP) systematically summarises, for a specific period, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world.

The current account measures the transfer of real resources (goods, services, income and transfers) between an economy and the rest of the world. The capital and financial account reflects the net changes in financial claims on the rest of the world. 4 datasetsView →
