Women prisoners constitute a small percentage of total prisoners in India. Although the numbers are small, their problems cannot be overlooked. In most of prisons in India, there is a lack of gender-sensitive prison norms. As a result, the needs of women prisoners are rarely realized. Since the beginning of the enactments of prison rules in India in 1894, different committees and commission have been formed for the protection of the rights of women prisoners in general and undertrial prisoners in particular. However, it is worrisome that their rights continue to be violated in different ways by different authorities. Through this research article, the researcher tries to highlight whether the women undertrial prisoners in the central jails of the state of Assam in India have been able to avail the legal rights incorporated in the Assam Jail Manual, 1987, and the Model Prison Manual of India, 2016. In this study, qualitative analysis has been done by taking into consideration the perception of women undertrial prisoners, jail officials and legal experts about the legal rights of women undertrial prisoners in central jails of Assam.

女囚犯在印度囚犯总数中所占的比例很小。尽管人数很少，但他们的问题不容忽视。在印度的大多数监狱中，缺乏对性别问题敏感的监狱规范。结果，很少意识到女囚犯的需要。自1894年印度颁布监狱规则以来，已经成立了不同的委员会和委员会，以保护一般女囚犯，特别是未成年囚犯的权利。但是，令人担忧的是，不同当局继续以不同方式侵犯其权利。通过这篇研究文章，研究人员试图强调印度阿萨姆邦中央监狱中的女性未成年囚犯是否能够利用《阿萨姆邦监狱手册》中规定的合法权利，
