Nigeria prisons are not yet fit to be called correctional centres, Inmates keep increasing against the initial capacity our prisons can hold, research has seen that Nigeria criminals comes out hardened after their jail terms, to the lucky dude that will handle the contract of rebranding , painting and etc you are the real MVP

Well done. While many of us including me have little hope or respect in our politicians, good steps must be encouraged.
Our prisons are beyond terrible,
- Vast majority of prisoners are either innocent or spend time awaiting trial for periods longer than their original sentence would have been , if found guilty.
- Prison officials steal funds meant to feed the prisoners.
- Most people go into prisoners, become worse and come out ready to do more evil.
- Many big men lock up their employees, enemies or opponents with just a word from their lips.
Yet a lot of our leaders have been in jail and prisons and did nothing to change the system, OBJ, FFK, Buhari etc.

Good step in the right direction Senator Uba.

Prison is prison Abeg,don’t come and copy oyinbo here in naija ,as if you people can meet up with the standards

gwarotango:
Buhari has never been to prison. He was held under house arrest during his time in detention

Pavore9:
The physical structures also needs upgrading.

Reptyle:


Why don't you read the Act itself before you make uninformed comments?

Karemarealty288:


Taaaa gbafueee visit the prison in the next 8months and see if there will be any changes....only Gen Abdulsalam's government touched the lives of prison inmates, till date no improvement. Abeg all na eye service. One things is to sponsor bill another hurdle is to implemented the bill. All Nigeria prisons still remains as the colonial masters left it, Verify this.

Reptyle:



It is no longer a bill. It has been signed off by the President therefore, it is now a law.

Like every reform, it will take some time to implement...but it must be implemented.

The changes will not be automatic. The act was only signed off about 2 days ago.

It is the job of the Senate Committee on the Interior to ensure that the reforms are followed through.

Have some faith.

Because Andy you know you belong in JAIL.

MachadoPreto:
Empty bill and why it was easy to scale through at it was not cost consuming

Just the name changed.

No iota of correctional measures, practices or routines in the system.
