Correctional Ravi Shankar Book Jacket Correctional Ravi Shankar

In his groundbreaking book, Correctional Ravi Shankar, renowned Indian author and activist Ravi Shankar, takes us on an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Indian penal system.

Based on his own experiences as an inmate in a maximum-security prison, Shankar offers a unique and unflinching look at the lives of those behind bars. He vividly portrays the harsh realities of prison life, from the overcrowding and violence to the lack of basic amenities and the psychological toll it takes on inmates.

But Shankar also shows us the resilience and hope that can exist even in the darkest of places. He tells stories of inmates who have found ways to cope with their circumstances, who have found solace in religion or art, and who have dedicated themselves to helping others.

Through Shankar's eyes, we come to understand the complex factors that contribute to crime and the challenges that inmates face in reintegrating into society. He argues for a more humane and rehabilitative approach to the criminal justice system, and he offers practical suggestions for how to improve the lives of prisoners and reduce recidivism.

Correctional Ravi Shankar is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Indian penal system and the lives of those who live within it. It is a powerful indictment of the current system, but it is also a hopeful book that shows us that even in the most difficult of circumstances, human beings can find the strength to overcome adversity.
