HYDERABAD - Former head of McKinsey & Company Rajat Gupta, who spent 19 month in a US jail on charges of insider trading, on Wednesday said he would like to work for the reforms in the US criminal justice and prison system. The management guru said through his experience, he saw the underbelly of US justice system and feels that much needs to be reformed in it. "There is lot of suffering, lot of unnecessary waste of human capital.
There is lot of cruelty and lot of families are destroyed," said Gupta speaking at the launch of his book "Mind without Fear" at the Indian School of Business (ISB) here.
Gupta, who started many initiatives in education and health, said he had now started thinking about reforms in the criminal justice system as it had a staggering impact.
He said US had the largest number of incarcerated people in the world. "There are somewhere around 3 million people. If you count them and those who go through the incarceration system again and again and think about their families, it is more than 100 million people impacted by the criminal justice system. "While I never thought about it before I went through it myself, I have become committed to make a difference in whatever I way I can to reforms in US justice and US prison system," he said.
