It is difficult to lay down any hard and fast rules for the selection of prisoners eligible to come under the "Star" class. The following classes of prisoners, however, are definitely excluded from it, viz.-(a)prisoners who have been classed as habituals by the Court.(b)prisoners who have been placed in "A" or "B" class,(c)prisoners who have been sentenced to simple imprisonment,(d)juveniles and adolescents (special treatment having already been laid down for these),(e)prisoners convicted under Chapters VI and VII of the Indian Penal Code.
