Abstract | In this article we will be exploring the attitudes of Indian prisoners towards their term of incarceration. The article is based on a research trip undertaken by the researchers to India in Autumn 2005. Newburn and Sparks (2004) comment that criminologists have become increasingly interested in the ways in which crime control policies arise and cross national borders and what happens to them when they travel. In the UK we often look at the examples of Western Europe and the USA and more recently experiences of offenders and prisoners in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
