Earlier yesterday @Truthfully83 shared a personal experience on his visit (along with a law practitioner friend) to 3 prisons in Nigeria.

In his words, you'll weep for this nation, at the sight of inmates. Many of whom are innocent.

From sources unknown, NPS currently has 75,489 prisoners out of which 24,450 are convicted while 51,139 of them are awaiting trial.

Could this be true? Or a mere exaggeration? He went further to say in one prison, 645 prisoners are sharing 2 toilets. How inhumane. Why then did they change the name from prison to correctional facility?

Freedom is a gift.

What's your take on this ? Is this Justice or another case of Justice for sale? Anyways stay away from Crimes...

I guess you have now turn a new leaf, good for you.

Note that crime doesn't pay.

The funny part is that most of them have not been tried and convincted as criminals but, still yet suffering this inhumane environment. I prayed that anybody that read this comment will never even by mistake find himself in that kind of condition.

Nigerian government hasn't provided basic amenities for its law abiding citizens, you want them to remember those who were locked for a crime they committed or didn't commit?

You overrate your government o.

Book Haram guys are even well taken care of more than these useless prisoners...
A nation where things work in reverse mode

Don't ever pray to be in such conditions i remember when a police officer locked me up cause I call his wife a prostitute when she called me same....if not for my friend that went to contact one guy i refuse to date to come bail me with almost 100k and because he knows one of thir oga oooo......i was ashamed when he bailed me cause i refuse to give him my no.

More like an abattoir.

not everyone there is guilty...

I have nothing to say..

I weep......

May no one have any reason to be in this prison

Just look at where the bokoharam killers are housed

Failed nation

OMG this so pethatic, my brother is better to stay hunger and enjoy freedom than to be this shithole prison, pls stay out of trouble

That's why to commit crime isn't good. Apart from those wrongfully detained who are still not tried, if you are told the crime these people committed, you wont pity them. Just on Wednesday, last week, 4 men struggled with a pregnant woman at about 9pm on a very busy road in Uyo, to snatch her handbag and her phone. The pregnant woman struggled and one of them use a matchet and cut one of her legs. The woman out of severe pain shouted and people got to hear of it. 2 escaped and 2 were caught and killed immediately. Now assuming police had taken them to the station and they were later sent to prison, how on earth would I pity seeing them in this condition?
Modified: I'm talking on a personal basis, it's no excuse for the condition of the Nigerian Prison.

Nigeria is not a country but a Zoo....

God save the innocent ones that are there

They don't deserved to safer for what they knew nothing about lord

First pixture; Na Chlesea match den de watch??

On a more serious note; I really feel and pray for those who are innocent amongst them, or those who only committed petty crimes like pocket picking or stealing groundnuts.

But for those amongst them who committed crimes like murder, bank robbery, kidnapping....

All I can say to them is ntor.

Rehabilitation Center Indeed! People That Go To Prison Usually Come Out More Dangerous And Heartless.

There's nothing correctional about the Nigerian Corrections Service ...
