I've been having these thoughts for some time now. And i've searched too but can't seem to find any agency or organization whether goverment owned or not that helps prison inmates ease back into society.

Truth is that most inmates after spending a bit of time in incerceration come out to find the world they get back into different from the one they left behind. These poses serious challenge as they, most times, won't have money and some don't have marketable lawful skills. Don't be deceived. Skills acquisition programs in the prisons are a farce.

Now imagine someone who has been in prison for 2, 5, 10 or 20 years coming out with no money, no house,and no skills. This person is hungry and facing a whole new world with crazy technologies and developments that were only things written in books of fiction in the past but have jumped out of those books...

What does this person do? Next is to fall back to the only way he knows how to survive. This is the reason for the high number of recidivists(This means repeat offenders) in our correction centers. At every given time, more than half inmates in all prision facilities are not first time offenders. This is traceable in large part to lack of a mechanism that helps ease the transition of inmates from prison and seamlessly absorb them into the 'free society'.

Other countries have this provisions but I'm yet to hear nor see anything like this in Nigeria. Maybe there is though. I'm ready to be schooled.

Norway has the best prison system in the world. Infact it can be literally said that living in Norwegian prison is better than living in Nigeria.
