Recommendation 25
25
Remand prisoners face lengthy custody with limited options due to court backlogs
Conclusion
It is right that the remand population should not be mandated to participate in the regime, as they have not been found guilty. However, due to the length of time remand prisoners are in custody for due to the court backlogs, it is not right that they are spending their time languishing with limited options available to them. (Conclusion, Paragraph 103)
