Conducted by legal rights organisation iProbono, the study underscores significant issues within India’s juvenile justice system. The findings indicate that 9,681 children were erroneously incarcerated in adult facilities during the specified period.
On average, more than 1,600 children were transferred annually from prisons to juvenile homes nationwide, as identified by Juvenile Justice Boards (JJBs).
The data was collected from 285 district and central prisons out of a total of 570. However, this figure excludes information from 749 other prisons, such as subjails, women's prisons, and special prisons, where data was not requested. Additionally, it only includes children successfully identified and transferred, not all those who were juveniles at the time of their alleged offence.
