In the aftermath of Shette’s death, inmates protested against the administration, during which, the report said, 13 prison officials and staff were injured. While the 14-page report has not gone into the circumstances that led to the death, it has recommended a slew of prison reforms, which include improving facilities, ensuring regular medical treatment, and sensitisation of prison officials and staff. The SIT was formed on July 4 and is headed by justice (retired) Anand Nirgude. The SIT has asked for more prisons to reduce the burden. It has asked for all vacant posts in the prison department to be filled..
