He said prison is a state subject as per the VII Schedule of the Constitution of India.
"Expenditure on prisons and prisoners is therefore incurred by the State Governments. Central Government thus does not maintain any account of the expenditure incurred on security and other heads on prisoners lodged in various jails across the country," he added. (ANI)
