No one born as a criminal and also no one gets involved with drug addiction by born. Crime is the result of social, and economical imbalance. It is believed that if we can educated and trained the criminals, they can be made competent to behave well in the society and contribute to the economy. Our existing legal framework has inadequate provisions regarding proper reintegration of prisoners to the society. Rehabilitation is the first aim of revisory system. This aim depends on the admission that how a person can be treated and can return to a crime free life. The rehabilitation system was the main feature of sanctification in the first half of the twentieth century.
