Note however that I don't view the American prison system as "our" ("mine") either (I'm not from the US).
And still, what I read of Indian prison is just way, way worse than what I read about the American system. Overcrowding, horrible delays in trials, abysmal hygiene. I doubt that the HCV treatment there is very good, despite there being a counseling centre.
"In India, overcrowding has aggravated the problem of hygiene. In many jails, conditions are appalling. At the tehsil level jails, even rudimentary conveniences are not provided. Prisoners in India are not even tested for specific infectious diseases, although all prisoners undergo a medical examination when they begin serving their sentence. No studies of the prevalence of viral infections among prison inmates have been done at a national level. India’s prison manuals provide for segregation of prisoners suspected of having contagious diseases. A few jails have established informal contacts with medical and social organizations for counseling of inmates to prevent the spread of infections."
