With this kind of condition how will crime be reduced*
Are the federal government doing enough for the prisoners too bad God help us

Prison congestion: CJN asks magistrates to liberalise bail conditions

ABUJA — Worried by the rising figures of awaiting trial inmates in various prison facilities across the federation, Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has asked magistrates to stop imposing stringent bail conditions on accused persons involved in minor offences.

Time for sports for the inmates
The CJN, who gave the directive when the national executives of the Magistrates Association of Nigeria, led by its acting National President, Chief Magistrate Victoria Isiguzo, paid him and 15 other Justices of the Supreme Court a courtesy visit during the weekend, said some magistrates were to be blamed for the level of congestion in the prisons.
He said it was regrettable that minor offenders are sometimes ordered to meet harsh and untenable bail terms, even as he stressed that the essence of bail is not to punish an accused person but to secure his attendance to appear in court for trial.
Besides, the CJN noted that a large number of persons are detained without charge while others are detained pending further investigation.
He further decried that people are sometimes detained on the basis of a First Information Report, FIR, which he said upon examination, may operate as holding charge while the prosecutor seeks more evidence to back up his trial.
Mahmud described the practice as unjust, noting that in most of the cases, suspects who are yet to be declared guilty by a competent court, often find themselves incarcerated.
He, therefore, called on magistrates to stop indulging the police by admitting to bail a suspect whose case the police are not ready to prosecute.
According to the CJN, “a corollary to this is the imposition of such bail terms which an accused has no real hope of meeting. I wish to use this medium to counsel magistrates to judiciously and carefully exercise their discretion to remand and consider alternatives to detention where possible, and to set reasonable bail terms as appropriate.”

thats nigeria for you....we neglect things like this....they can break tru those walls and have a free night to escape ....when will this country take infrastructure,maintenance and co serious...we wait for everything to spoil b4 we act an example is the boko haram issue...

Reasons why you should be a law abiding citizen and stay away from trouble.

If the prisons become very comfortable, more comfortable than the house of the average man, it would have its vices. The living standard of the average Nigerian needs to be improved first.

However, I believe the Nigerian government can do better than this...at least make it a bit habitable. These pictures are an eyesore.

That said, I have no sympathy for those who [b]truly deserve [/b]to be in jail. I have never believed in restorative justice anyway.

Mexican prisons are worse but inmates have conjugal rights. Do our prisoners have conjugal previlidges?

So they just mastuRbaete all day long unless you are a Bode George in which case the prison superintendent's office becomes a temporary bedroom when your consort comes calling. That is the worst injustice imaginable. Forget about the filth and the apparently unhygienic environment. Man is an animal by nature. We always adapt but certainly not to sexual deprivation.

Of course I know that there are many people in jail who shouldn't be there but that's not the Op's point. He is not talking about justice but about the state of the prisons.

Making prisons more cruel doesn't prevent crime. As a Nigerian, whether guilty or innocent, a real government would afford us a minimal level of dignity. This means that even the worst Nigerian must be treat with a shred of respect which will elevate the position of the best and those in the middle. Nobody will ever want to deliberately live in prison because it's comfortable. There's nothing comfortable about not having your freedom even if you're trapped in a hotel room.

people can deserve to be in jail without deserving to be treated like less than people.
