Nigeria Prison

I was impressed to hear that in Nigerian prison, inmates can take courses from the Nigerian Open University. This is a welcome development for me because there is nothing so good as when you are giving someone a second chance in life.
As a result of this Year of mercy, some Catholics are making effort to reach out to people in need. It was from them I got to know that many people are in jail without there cases being charged to court, and their relations are not aware of there whereabouts. I also got to know that courses are made available to inmates who are interested in studying but with a fee.
I am using this medium to appeal to those in position to make changes, to put into consideration, people awaiting trial, also to make available toll free line in police stations and prisons so that they can contact their relations. And it should be enforced that relations should be intimated whenever there is an arrest, and people arrested should be treated as not guilty until they are found guilty in a competent court of law. There are a lot of lawyers looking for work, so the police should have a lawyer assigned to the station so that cases should be charge to court within 24- 48 hours of arrest.
I also wish that inmates should be encouraged to study at no cost at all, by so doing they will come out of jail thoroughly refined.

Just pondering
