How should the issue of extortion by hijras be handled? What ever their situation, when they start behaving like criminals, they should start being treated like ones. Right?

Several questions regarding prisons

About undertrials in prison. because of delays by the courts, it has happened people who are convicted have served more time than their sentencing. Do you have any idea about this problem, whether it is a big thing or only isolated cases. Do you think there should be a provision for undertrials to be released, even though their case may remain on going, after a certain number of years.

About the hierarchy of prisoners, I hear that people who have committed rapes or molested minors are singled out for harassment by other prisoners. Do you think this is wrong, or do you think that these 'scum' deserve the extra punishment that they are getting.

About the overcrowding of prisons. How big a problem is this and what suggestions do you have to deal with this.
