Abstract - Blockchain-Integrated Legal Aid System for Undertrial Prisoners
The rising number of undertrial prisoners in India, coupled with inadequate legal assistance, highlights the urgent need for technological intervention in the judicial system. Tech driven solutions for under train prisoners is an innovative digital legal aid solution that integrates “blockchain technology and AI-powered tools” to support undertrial prisoners in securing timely and affordable legal assistance. The project offers a transformative platform aimed at modernizing the way legal services are accessed, tracked, and delivered across prison systems and judicial bodies in India. Tech driven solutions for under train prisoners addresses the core issues that undertrial prisoners face: lack of communication with legal authorities, outdated manual processes, opaque case progress tracking, and limited awareness of legal rights. The project features a dual-panel interface for both clients (prisoners or their families) and legal authorities (lawyers, jailers, government officials), offering tailored access to features such as case tracking, secure messaging, real-time map tracking, trial updates, and AI-based legal guidance via an inbuilt Lawbot. One of the most compelling technological innovations in Tech driven solutions for under train prisoners is the integration of blockchain algorithms for secure and decentralized login authentication. By using public-key cryptography and wallet-based sign-ins, the system ensures that identities are verified without relying on vulnerable password systems. This feature also enables tamper-proof logging of login activities, trial interactions, and data modifications. The backend of Tech driven solutions for under train prisoners is built with “Node.js and Firebase”, ensuring real-time updates and scalability. The frontend is designed with “React Native and Expo”, providing a responsive mobile interface optimized for use in both Android and iOS environments. The data model is integrated with Firebase Firestore and optionally backed by smart contract-based ledgers for traceability.
