Abstract

Azim Premji Foundation (Foundation) has instituted a programme in collaboration with Government of Maharashtra (GoM) with the objective of demonstrating a successful working model for providing quality legal representation to undertrial prisoners across prisons in Maharashtra (Programme). For the purpose of carrying out the Programme, the Foundation identified Prayas, a field action project of the Centre for Criminology and Justice, School of Social Work, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Prayas) and The Fair Trial Fellowship Program, instituted by National Law University Delhi under Project 39A (FTF), as ‘Implementing Partners’ of the Foundation. This report is an attempt to reflect on-the-ground experiences of the Programme and convey the learnings towards identifying issues within the criminal justice system that need to be addressed.
