Abstract :

This paper is a review of liary service condition to educated prison inmates in Coimbatore. Through Questionnaire methods the data was collected from the Inmates, Liary staff & also from the Welfare Officer. Based on the responses the collected data was analyzed. The study revealed that the information needs of the inmates are not well balanced by the liary because of the inadequate liary stock. It also revealed that the stock was maintained by the staff without having training in liary field. It is noted that there is inadequate attention by the government & other sectors. The study recommends the prison liaries to provide more skills to improve the inmates knowledge & to help them how to live their life in outside world after imprison period.
