CHANGE: NIGERIA PRISON

The Nigerian Prison Service is outdated, with nearly no form of retraining of its personnel, who are supposed to reform the inmates or convicts; making them fit for re-absorption into the society after doing time, and worst still is the facilities where the prisoners are housed; which in all cases are over populated and ill managed, dilapidated structures combining with the highest level of inefficiency and corruption in managerial level of this institution destroys the human rights of prisoners in Nigeria.
In Nigeria it is common sight to see prisoners doing menial jobs like cutting logs, digging foundation trenches, clearing of sewage tanks, cutting of grasses, digging of ridges in farms and other odd jobs. They are made to trek with their uniforms to points of their work, they haggle and agree on prices with their employers, at the end of work the prison warden collects the money and gives stipend to the prisoners. This is an abuse beyond their prison sentences, which I strongly feel the change mantra of President Buhari should address.
The prisons are congested because a lot of men awaiting trial are kept there with prosecutors to adequately prosecute their cases, and those that find their way to the courts take ages to decide; the bottle necks bureaucratically are cumbersome and energy sapping. I do not know of any prison in Nigeria where vocational training happens as a right to the inmates in order to better them, non whatsoever. I challenge the Vice President Osinbanjo to spear head a radical departure from what we have observed for ages as norm, which is in truth an abuse of the fundamental human rights of prisoners in Nigeria. I expect the change team to start thinking outside the box on how best to refurbish, run, manage and maintain the prisons across the country, making it more efficient and converting them to reformatories that they are supposed to be; and even more importantly stop the abuses that go on inside the prisons in Nigeria. The prisons service needs a brand new orientation and leadership that is skills based in ICT, Engineering and twenty-first century technology to help re-mould this lives and help them re-integrate effortlessly into the society.
I fear though that this government may not be able to make this happen, seeing what they have done so far, I can not see any thing they done differently, and this worries me greatly.
