Description
After three years in detention experiencing the "sea of misery" endured by women in Indian jails, one of the nation's best-known rights lawyers warns that society's prejudices are amplified behind bars.
Unable to raise funds or complete complicated paperwork for bail, many women are incarcerated for years while awaiting trial in India's glacial judicial process. In Bharadwaj's memoir ‘From Phansi Yard: My Year with the Women of Yerawada' she includes stories from inmates at Yerwada jail in Pune where many women could have been granted bail.
