While outdated Nigerian prisons are congested with “Awaiting Trial” detainees and notorious convicts, the Dutch government is in the process of closing at least 8 of its prisons due to “lack of criminals”.
Reports quoting the Huffington Post and the local media in Netherlands said the Dutch justice ministry now accommodates only 12,000 detainees while it has the capacity for 14,000 prisoners. This situation is now prompting the move to close eight prisons as part of a continued move to further decongest the prison population.
To further harp on the reformatory aspect of the prison system, a group, the Criminal Justice Alliance (CJA), which represents more than 60 organisations, urged the Dutch government to urgently limit “the unnecessary use of prison, ensuring it is reserved for serious, persistent and violent offenders for whom no alternative sanction is appropriate”.

Wow, i'm impressed.
In Nigeria, the mass are crime addicts. But the leaders have been born into it.
A country where the leaders steal more than those whose profession is aremed robbery.

A country u fear the police more than the thieves.

A country where the higher you steal, the less punishment you get.

A country where police always have witnesses. They beat you to the extent you agree you're the thief.

But still, I keep on loving my country. It shall be well someday.
United Nigeria
