The Federal Government on Thursday revealed that Nigeria will spend N22.4 billion feeding inmates in correctional centres nationwide.

This is according to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr Shuaib Belgore, who disclosed this at a two-day High Conference on Decongestion and Corrections Management in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Belgore stated that the fund is budgeted for in the 2023 Appropriation Act.

He said that there has been a steady rise in the population of the custodial centres with at least 80% of the inmates awaiting trial.

According to him, there are 244 custodial centres nationwide, with a 75,507-inmate population, thereby leading to 82 of them being overcrowded.

The total number of male inmates is 73,821 and female 1,686 female inmates, he noted.
Out of the 75,507 inmates, 52,436 are awaiting trial while 23,071 are convicted persons, with 3,322 as condemned inmates on death row.

It's a good thing Prisons aren't in the exclusive list anymore. The FG should shift this burden to the states ASAP. By 2025 don't accept any more state law offenders.

If you go to the prisons and see what these inmates are fed, you will stop complaining about the amount of water in Iya Bashira's Beans.
A sad reality is that a large chunk of this N22.44billion would be embezzled by the original criminals who are in charge of locking up their unfortunate colleagues.
Anyways, the decongestion of Nigerian prisons is an area the government urgently need to look into. It would improve general health by prevent the prison from being a disease breeding ground and also reduce the cost of governance.

The prisons need to be decongested and a quick way is by speeding up the trial process. It's however sad that so many people are eating Bread and Tea prepared as foam and coloured water in prisons because they've been awaiting trial for a crime they didn't commit.

Yet, it takes NGOs and Church outreach for inmates to see a good meal and those come once in a blue moon.
