Abstract
Adjustment strategies of elderly prisoners living with dementia in central prisons of Tamil Nadu. There is a growing trend of ageing individuals who have been convicted of crimes and subsequently become elderly inmates. Many of these older inmates suffer from dementia within the central prisons of Tamil Nadu. According to a WHO report, there are 55 million people worldwide living with dementia. It leads to increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Dementia also has profound physical, psychological, social, and economic impacts. The research utilizes both qualitative and quantitative data. The research design employs descriptive methods, and the sample consists of five central prisons conveniently selected from Cuddalore, Madurai, Trichy, Tirunelveli, and Vellore, with a total sample size of 213. The study aims to explore how recent assistive technologies can support and improve the lives of elderly inmates affected by dementia in central prisons.
