The efforts made by Ngawi Prison in the context of fulfilling the rights of prisoners have referred to the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations. In an effort to fulfill the rights of prisoners, it was found that there were obstacles faced due to the overcapacity of the inhabitants of the Ngawi Prison.
