My suggestions 1. Release first-offender suspects on Awaiting Trial Persons list who have already spent or exceeded the number of years they would have served if convicted. 2. Introduce concept of PAROLE into our criminal justice system. A prison inmate can earn an early supervised release if he has served more than half of his sentence, he is of good behaviour or if young, has applied himself to and making impressive progress in academic pursuits or gained proficiency in a trade. Routinely granting parole to deserving prisoners will reduce overcrowding gradually over the years. 3. Expand, upgrade and equip our prison facilities to truly be correctional centres rather than semi-dungeons. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

Na now day break? Something they should have done since. Hopefully they stick to releasing those being held on non-violent charges or are deemed to pose no immediate threat to society. 6 Likes |

Right step in the right direction. We the prison ministers always goes through difficulties mentoring, counselling and meeting the needs of these large crowds of inmates. Is just God that always gives us the grace, wisdom and money to continue to attend to them. In many occasions you will discover that is minor cases that makes some one to stay in awaiting trial for many years without been attended to. Please let them do something urgently. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Buhari said a report on the proposed visit is expected to be forwarded to the Presidential Committee on Correctional Service Reform and Decongestion Secretariat, Federal Ministry of Justice, Abuja, for compilation and onward transmission to his officeCan someone inform Buhari that this is a democracy and he can't order the CJN around? If he wants to give pardons he can and should without overstepping his constitutional bounds. 1 Like |

This is a good one from the President. I guess Covid19 is Nigeria's real president now. Look how it's rebuilding every sector of our government and nation. Health, Prisons, Community etc. You better believe it, a new president is in town! Oya Nairalanders, order my Gig on Fiverr and receive a bonus from me.

Please I'm not against the government releasing the unlawfully detained individuals or those awaiting trials but Some of those awaiting trial might be guilty of the crime they're been charged for. You want to release these people into a society in which we're struggling with an increase in crime rate since the onset of this pandemic in our country. You're releasing them into a society where everyone is struggling to survive because of the lockdown and the hunger that has come with it. Is it just to release them, what plan do you have to keep them off the street or from being lured into crime,do you have any plan to provide for them. This is not the right time to make decisions of this kind that would affect the masses. With all due respect, I think Mr President should review his decision. This is definitely not the best time for this, Mr President you're making a move that would lead to public unrest on a long run. As a nation we're already heading towards anarchy and this would be a great determining move. #JustMyView 3 Likes |
