Notes:

IJR 3: 1. The e-prisons website does not provide capacity of the 5 prisons in Manipur. But as per PSI, these 5 prisons are not overcrowded, and hence we have assumed no jail is overcrowded. 2. The e-prisons website does not provide capacity of the 4 prisons in Lakshadweep. But as per PSI, these have an occupancy of 8%, and hence we have assumed no jail is overcrowded.
