The prison space is about 1,250 feet in length and about 878
feet in width enclosing large acres of land. The enclosure is hedged in by high
walls capped with iron fence about 16 feet high, on the outside of which a
parapet wall about 12 feet from the ground stands so imposing.
What would have been a correctional facility like what is
obtained in foreign countries, have lost its purpose as inmates are left at the
mercies of mother nature while some of the inmate have gradually degenerated to
mental inmates who should be given psychiatric treatment due to the condition
of prison.
Is it that the government have failed on its part to build correctional facilities that will see those convicted being re-integrated into the society after serving jail terms. The look from the faces of the
inmates revealed that they suffer profound and pervasive psychological
disintegration because of their present circumstances.
For a better society, government should make effort to see
that the welfare of these convicts are taken serious as they remain human and
part of the society.
