Her current research area continues to be on penal reform across South Asia with a specific focus on the mental health and care of women in prisons and custodial justice.
She is a leading figure in prison reform and prisoner rehabilitation movements in various parts of the world, and regularly designs and oversees workshops that train judicial and law enforcement officials on crucial developments in penal reform policy and human rights centred approaches to the penal system.〔(Where People Component Matters ), The Hindu, Jan 2013〕〔(Workshop on New Models of Accessible Justice ), New Models of Accessible Justice Project〕 She speaks extensively at conferences and seminars〔(Women Prisoners, Gender Specific Treatment ), The Dui Hua Foundation〕 as well as at the United Nations〔(Panel: Children Deprived of Liberty ), United Nations Webcast〕 and has appeared as an expert on punishment and prisons on numerous radio and TV shows.〔(Time to Rethink Capital Punishment ), We the People〕 She is the author and coauthor of numerous books on criminal justice, prisons and penal reform and has contributed articles on these issues to numerous newspapers and journals, including Times of India, Daily Telegraph, Economic and Political Weekly, Seminar, and Social Welfare. In 2014 she spoke at the Jaipur Literature Festival in two sessions, ''Prisons of the Mind'' and ''The Political Imagination''.〔(Rani Shankardass ), Jaipur Literature Festival〕 During her tenure as a Nehru Fellow she was invited to join the Board of Penal Reform International, a non-government organisation based in the UK, with consultative status with the United Nations.
