STORIES
We believe that personal narratives can play a crucial role in driving reform in the criminal justice system and also in shaping the public discourse on crime and punishment in India. By exploring systemic issues through authentic human stories, we provide a nuanced perspective on how the criminal justice system functions, particularly for the accused, victims, and other key stakeholders. Through these stories we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the system's impact and strengthen the push for meaningful reform.
