NurseJP: Great article. During my NYSC in Abuja , I did a project Medicare for Prison Inmates at Kuje. The protocols and corruption in the system often deter good people from helping prisoners in Nigeria. Officials always looking for ways to enrich their pockets. If you leave medications for the clinic, they end up selling them. Upon getting an insider information from an inmate, we left with remaining medications for subsequent outreaches instead of donating to the prison clinic. What a pity. It's so unfortunate to see how heartless government officials can be. 2 Likes |

blueghost: Over 98% of the people reading this subject havenāt been to prison before. The first thing that comes to an ordinary crime-free Nigerian is a mental picture of a room with Iron bar doors. Well in Nigeria, there are different types of prison. The class of people with the Jurisdiction to know about all prison types is Lawyers, judges and Police officers. A prison is designed for individuals that have broken the law.
Nice attempt, but to correct you, a child under the age of 7 cannot be arrested for a crime and under the age of 12 cannot be arrested for a sexual crime. For instance, if a child under 7, let's say 5 years old commits murder, he would be discharged and acquitted. Also, if a child who is 10 years old suddenly gets fast puberty and raped a woman, he would be discharged and acquitted. Check your criminal and penal codes.
In addition, there are no psychiatric prisons in Nigeria, an insane person that commits a crime is sent to the normal psychiatric hospitals, eg Yaba Left and others. It's technically not a prison but a recovery center. An insane person who commits a crime cannot be sent to prison, the court would sentence him to a psychiatrist pending when the psychiatrist can state that he or she is good to go
Who manages the prisons in our country? Letās start off with the people that manage the Prisons in Nigeria. They are the NCS, an acronym for āNigerian Correctional Servicesā. They are the only body that has legal rights to operate all prisons in the country.
The Nigerian prison service has its National office located in Abuja. It would be important to also note that they donāt work alone. They work in partnership with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. NCS has offices across all 36 states of Nigeria. The prison Services has improved vastly since the British Empire left the Nigerian shores.
Their responsibilities include the following: They ensure that all the different types of Prisons as operated as the law states. They make sure that prisons are more secure, and that the prison staffs are doing their job effectively. They also see to it that inmates are well escorted from prison to court and from court to prison. Finally, they collect data and analyze data. With over 250 million people in this country, I guess we need a lot of prisons right? Most of Nigerian prisons can carry up to 75000 people. In Nigeria, there are more males in custody than women.
What are the Types of Prisons in Nigeria? Some criminals are dangerous, whilst others arenāt. Differences in offender personality can warrant that a personās on custody stay indifferent prison types. Some differences could be gender-associated, age-related or maybe mental health.
The following are the different types of prisons we have in Nigeria. Female only prisons Security prisons Military Prisons Juveniles / Minor correctional Facilities Psychiatric prisons. Female only prisons Nigeria has two female-only prisons. When women in the country break the law, they are sent there. The names of these two prisons are Kirikiri and Numan old prison respectively. They are located in Lagos state and Adamawa state respectively. A lady that has turned 18 years of age can be sent to either of the correctional facilities. Women in custody stay there for months, even years awaiting their trial by the court. Nigeria had only one female prison in Kirikiri up until 2017. In the year 2017, the Federal Government established its second female prison in Adamawa state. This is the aforementioned prison known as the Numan Old prison. It has a capacity of 400 inmates. Security prisons Security prisons in Nigeria have three main subcategories. They include minimum security, the medium-security, and the maximum-security prisons. The minimum security prisons are meant for defaulters of crimes that are not that serious. Some of these crimes include; Fraud, domestic violence and theft. The second subcategory of security prisons houses criminals. This is because they need to be locked away from society so that they canāt cause more damage. An example of the medium-security prison is the Kuje prison. Now, the grand finale, the Maximum security prisons! This is the humble abode of all the Very dangerous people in Nigeria, Iām talking about people that have killed people, indulged in hyper-violent acts, etc. they are locked away in complete isolation from everyone. An example of a maximum-security prison in Nigeria is the Gashua Maximum Prison.
Military prison Is a force man? Have you served in the Nigerian army, or committed Military crimes? Then, you would serve jail time in a military prison. Currently, the state of the Nigerian military prisons is nothing to write home about. So, if you are a uniform man or woman, try not to break the hedge of the law.
Juveniles/Minor correctional facilities A juvenile in law jargon is a person below the age of criminal prosecution, which is 18 years. Nigeria has Juvenile prisons for under-aged individuals that break the law and disturb society. These places serve as correctional facilities for juvenile detainees. Amongst the 90,000 prisoners in Nigeria, there are only 2% juveniles in Prison. Juveniles are not allowed to go to the same prison that adults go to. They are always sent to a correctional facility. So if you are a small boy and think you can carry a gun and get away with it, I hope this article acts as an eye-opener. Nobody is above the law, not even 3-year-olds.
Psychiatric Prisons An individual with mental instability that breaks the law, is always sent to psychiatric prisons. They are also given Mental health care in these psychiatric prisons. There is a major development by the federal government about this.

Crucialgem: Female only prison is different from prison with both male and female but have barricade between them. Most of those male prison have female version too I can imagine. Because I was looking for female prison in Rivers (Port-Harcourt) but didn't see. I recall that the Journalist, Kemi Olunloyo was in a prison in PH many years ago. |

Only awaiting trials and sentenced persons are sent to prison while detained people stay in cells. In prison you are free to move about within the yard, during the regulated time, you are more healthy and can even make few cash to buy urself something. Do you know you can smoke cigarettes or even hard drugs in prison while in cells where u are only confined to a locked room. It's a different world in prison, with a different government ruled by the warders and inmates Mehn, that cell no be small thing ooo. Na so I go Panti (Yaba) station one dey, sha... I started hearing songs and praises from outside thinking there's a church close by or something. Unbeknown to me, na inside cell those people dey do serious crusade ooo. I heard people have been in the cell for 3-6 months... Jesu!!! 2 Likes |

I heard people have been in the cell for 3-6 months... Jesu!!! That's Nigerian cell for u. It's less free and dirty than prison. Though in prisons in only natural you loose ur mental health because it's a different crazy world. Do you know in prisons we have VIP and even moderate sections reserved for the rich, famous, and renowned. At Ogwuashi Ukwu in Delta state where I served, I was lucky to be errand guy to someone well known but will not disclose his name. Some senior and rugged inmates assume roles together with the warders and these two are the government within the prison walls 1 Like |

It's so unfortunate to see how heartless government officials can be. It should be worded like this " See how heartless Nigerians can be" Nigerians are just pure greedy people from the poorest to the rich but they blame others not blaming themselves. |
