- Paragraph text
- In India, the conditions in which prisoners are held can vary according to how they are classified: foreign citizens, political prisoners and individuals belonging to "higher" castes receive better treatment while incarcerated, including placement in larger or less-crowded prison cells, access to books and newspapers, and more and better food. Those who belong to the "lower" castes do not receive these benefits.
