Respected Chief Minister,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant and innovative prison reform proposed by the Government of Odisha. I believe that this reform holds great potential to address challenges faced by our criminal justice system and improve the lives of undertrial prisoners. I humbly appeal to your esteemed leadership to consider adopting a similar approach in Uttar Pradesh.
The Odisha prison department's recent proposal to introduce GPS-enabled tracking devices for undertrial prisoners facing non-heinous charges showcases a visionary step towards modernizing the prison system. This initiative is designed to tackle two pressing issues: the burden of prison overcrowding and the financial strain on government resources required to house and maintain inmates. By utilizing GPS technology to monitor the movements of non-violent undertrials involved in minor offenses, the state of Odisha is aiming to reduce prison congestion and the associated costs.
I firmly believe that the implementation of such a reform in [State's Name] could yield similar positive outcomes. The proposed system's potential to confine undertrial prisoners to their homes, rather than incarcerating them, aligns with a progressive approach to justice and equity. Moreover, the tamper-proof design of the tracking devices, which act as a deterrent against escape attempts, reflects a commitment to effective law enforcement and administration.
I kindly urge you to consider the benefits of such a reform for Uttar Pradesh. By adopting this approach, we can address prison overcrowding and promote a more humane treatment of undertrial prisoners while saving valuable government resources. This step not only reflects your dedication to the welfare of our citizens but also sets an example for other states to follow.

I sincerely believe that your visionary leadership can bring about positive changes in our criminal justice system. By adopting innovative measures such as the one proposed by Odisha, we can create a more efficient, equitable, and humane system for all.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the potential positive impact of this reform in Uttar Pradesh.
With the highest regards and anticipation,
