CollectionSentences and Incarceration of Prisoners from Prison Statistics India Reports, NCRBThis collection of datasets from the NCRB Prison Statistics India reports provides a comprehensive analysis of sentencing trends and the duration of confinement for both convicts and undertrials. For convicted prisoners, the data tracks judicial outcomes ranging from capital punishment and life imprisonment to shorter terms (from under 6 months to 13 years), including the execution of death sentences and the percentage share of each sentence category. A critical subset highlights the "fine-default" crisis, documenting convicts who remain incarcerated for periods of under 6 months to over 5 years solely due to the non-payment of court-ordered fines. For undertrial prisoners, the collection monitors the length of pre-trial detention across intervals from under 3 months to over 5 years. Available at both national and state levels in absolute numbers and percentage shares, these datasets are essential for identifying judicial delays and assessing the efficiency of the Indian criminal justice system. Together, they offer a transparent look at how sentencing severity and legal bottlenecks contribute to the long-term occupancy of India’s correctional facilities.12 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 →
