compassion for people who are extremely vulnerable

It's too bad that some countries just see inmates as animals and treat them as such. I know prison is supposed to be punishment for the crime but it should also be about real mental health evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation. Maybe then there wouldn't be so many people that keep re-offending and going back to prison over and over. If you're treated like an animal and given no hope, why try? If you're treated with compassion, proper mental health care and given hope, things get better.

just because you go to prison doesnt mean you have to lose your simple human rights

[quote author=obo_man]There is no logic whatsoever in celebrities visiting prisons....

Why should criminals be given gifts and attention?


As someone else pointed out, there are deserving places like orphanages, hospitals, etc.....


We most times do many things in this country that aren't well thought of.......[/quote] HAVE u seen the living coniditions of Naija prisons

The largest colorless cut diamond in the world - Cullinan I - weighing in at 530.2 carats, from South Africa.

And why is it in the hands of a colonialist and not the people who inhabited the land? OH I ALREADY KNOW, DUH!

Let Mandela Rest in Peace. He was a great man, but he did not fulfill his mission of freeing South Africa completely. Instead, he chose the easy way out becoming an integrationist. 75% of South Africa still belongs in the hand of Europeans which Native South Africans themselves does not prosper from their homeland rich minerals and resources, and remain in poverty. Let us a pray his people will continue on what Mandela did not finish, while spreading Pan-African love to our neighboring African countries among us.

Nollywood Star Monalisa Chinda visits Kirikiri Prison, Lagos | Encourages & Donates Items to Female Inmates – Photos & Scoop

On Sunday 16th September 2013, Nollywood star Monalisa Chinda visited the Kirikiri Prison, Apapa, Lagos for a charity visit which lasted for several hours.

Looking super chic for the visit, Mona rocked a pale chiffon button-up blouse, grey pants and a pair of nude strap platforms. Wavy dark locks, chic dark shades, silver drop earrings and a gold cocktail ring completed the look.

Monalisa donated various items including food stuff, clothes, underwear, toiletries, perfume bottles and sanitary provisions, through her Arise Monalisa Foundation.

She also took time to interact and encourage the prison inmates who were happy to receive her.

Speaking to the inmates on the visit, she said “Though we may not be in control of what happens to us in life, we are absolutely responsible for our reactions to what happens to us. And it is our reaction that ultimately determines the results and quality of our lives. On getting here today, I was told some inmates were recently released by strange interventions, so this can’t be the end for you.”

As some prisoners wept, Mona further said “I want you to know that there is more to your life than your present state and, no matter what anyone has said to you, there is hope for you.”.

According to her rep, the inmates were not allowed to be photographed, but they had a great time bonding with the actress.

During the week which also marked her birthday (Friday 13th September 2013), Monalisa also visited the Patrick Speech & Languages School in Lagos which cares for autistic children, to make donations.
