Criminal20143 sections

The Haryana Prisons (Haryana Amendment) Act, 2014, is a legislative update to the colonial-era Prisons Act, 1894, specifically tailored for the State of Haryana. Its primary function is to modernize administrative definitions within the prison system. By substituting the word "fifty" with "two hundred" in Sections 2 and 3 of the principal Act, the amendment increases the numerical threshold used to define or classify prison facilities. This change allows the state government to bring larger facilities under the regulatory framework of the Prisons Act, ensuring that prison administration, security, and prisoner welfare standards are legally applicable to these updated capacity levels.
