Sixteen-year-old Suraj Chaudhry has been waiting for most of his life: for lawyers, for justice, for his father's eventual release from the prison after 14 years.

His father should have been let out in 2003, but the impoverished family could not pay the 24,000 rupee bail (then worth $522, now worth $360) set by the court in the north Indian city of Lucknow. Suraj says his father was framed for murder because he was from the outcast "dalit" community, also known as "untouchables," within India's ancient system of caste hierarchies.

"So my father was sent to jail, while a rich man from our village who belongs to an upper caste and is behind that murder is roaming free," Suraj said, leaning against a wooden pillar within the High Court compound, where he has become a regular. Each day after working his job in a tea shop, Suraj insists he will not leave "until I get an answer" on when his father might be released. But as the sun goes down, he eventually leaves, vowing to return the next day.

There are tens of thousands of prisoners like Suraj's father in the state of Uttar Pradesh, where at least 70 percent of the state's 84,228 inmates have languished in jail because they cannot afford to pay bail while their cases take years or even decades to wend through India's notoriously slow and backlogged judicial system, according to the state's Jail Ministry.
