|Respect of basic human values is the core of the reform process of Amritsar Prison. Every single inmate is extended due courtesy and treated with respect and dignity at least as a human being. The behaviour of Prison officers towards inmates is very cordial and cooperative. The success of prison reform here can be attributed to a rare partnership between Prison Officers and Inmates. Our endeavor is to respect the human values far more than rights.
