| The Dehumanizing Conditions of Detainees In Nigerian Prisons: What Justice? |
 PRINTABLE VERSION |
Concluding, I wish to state here that our aim has been to disclose the fact that the stay of the majority of the inmates in most Nigerian prisons today is quite unjustifiable.
But then, the pertinent question is: in practical response, what can we contribute towards a more humanized management of the Nigerian prisons? I must make a clarion call to the government in its entirety charging it to wake up from its slumber and embrace justice.
However, while appreciating the efforts of some non- governmental organizations and Civil Society Organizations like CIDJAP, Nnado Foundation Inc., JDPC, FIDA and other foreign bodies, some groups like the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) have a very vital role to play.
By and large it is the responsibility of all to supplement and help in solving the problems of our brothers and sisters being dehumanized in the cells. By so doing, we shall be fulfilling the biblical injunction: “I was in prison and you visited me.”
