This was one among the topics that were discussed at the 29th state conference of the Kerala Police Association held at Tirur of the Malappuram district today.
There has been an increasing number of cases which has brought out the nexus between the policemen and the criminals. The criminals, while in jail, are provided five star luxuries with the active connivance of the policemen who're positioned to ensure their discipline and good conduct! Such disorderly conduct, I'm sure, is not rampant but is restricted to a misguided few who'd definitely be taken to task and brought to book as per established service procedures.
A call has been made by the top brass, to the Associations, to take the initiative to curb criminal activities and mafia connections among their subordinates. The police would enjoy public support only if they're sincere in their duties, it was emphasised. It was also highlighted that while provision of adequate facilities were a must for the prisoners in jail, providing luxuries would only encourage criminal activities.
My take.
The prisoners have fetched up in jails because of their mistakes and criminal backgrounds, substantiated by the law. They're, therefore, required to be reformed through corrective measures - within the limits of human decency - during their jail sentences. While adequate facilities are a must for all inmates in jail, special treatment to a selected few and luxuries are a strict no-no for the maintenance of discipline. The criminality needs to be removed before the individual is returned to society and towards its attainment, corrective corporal punishment may also have to be applied.
