These people have clearly run out of ideas of all things to build and invest in , it is prison all over the country, they can as well build and design cemeteries in all APC States, Tufiakwa !!!!!!, brain dead government.

If they show you a picture of an overcrowded Nigerian prison, you would shout and criticise the govt.

The government builds more prisons to lessen the burden on the current ones, you shout and criticise the government.

Many of you on this forum are mentally sick in the head.

Go to calabar prison and see how humans are squeezed into a tiny hole all in the name of prison congestion,then u will know that these new prisons are long overdue.

Welcome development.

What makes Nigeria prison congested is that majority of Nigerians are criminals or the judiciary system is not working? Hope you have heard about awaiting trial in Nigeria prison

kettykin:


you clearly missed it , if the economy was well run and the citizenry were clearly engaged in economic activities then there would be less need for investing in prisons, the government can as well build more cemeteries in APC states to create room for the more death sentences

engrchykae:
let the useless government build factories and hand them over to private businesses,then set up a program that will force final year professional graduates such as engineers to provide a workable business plan and application for loan from CBN,we won't be needing prisons if this is done

GEJ looked at them and warned us that these are littlemen with empty promises.

You are sick too if you still have faith in the corrupt governments.

When the contract is finally awarded, I hope you can help them defend the costs too.

Poor judicial system is why the prisons are a hell on Earth. If they don't start their reforms from there, they can build extra two million prisons, nothing will change.

Rossikk:


''Poor judicial system'' is in the eye of the beholder.

Most Americans also complain about their ''poor judicial system'', which incarcerates people for the most innocuous offences including possession of a little bit of cannabis, leading to high rates of imprisonment. There is also racial imbalance whereby a black person is 3 or 4 times more likely to be imprisoned than a white person for the same offence etc etc.

So you can moan and groan all you like. Nowhere has a ''perfect judicial system''.

Well, they should reform the system...we have too many people awaiting trial for example, and we need more funding for fthings like better forensics, etc...

But let's give the government some credit for this, at least. Our prisions are filled to capacity, and over stretched. We need more new ones.

And to be frank, you don't have evidence that they are cheating on the contract. Yes, I know, contracts in Nigeria are havens for corruption and all, but evidence is still important to substantiate any allegation.

No matter what the government does, Nairalanders will always have rubbish to say. There are a lot of delinquents in the street who should rot in prison for the rest of their natural lives. If not that our police are idiots, I would suggest a system of private for-profit prisons. The government should realize revenue from cheap labour otherwise spent on carrying out evil deeds.
