 Zarifat Aid, a non-profit organization, has called on the government to actively work on holistic reforms needed to fix the inhuman and illegal practices in prisons. The group lamented the delay in the dispensation of justice on long-standing inmates. They attributed the delays to alleged cases of missing files of suspects. As a non-government organization that has actively worked in the correctional and criminal justice sector for over 17 years, we state on a revocation that the paramount need is a holistic reform in the criminal justice administration system. The prisons serve as a holding center for persons who are ordered by various courts to decapitate. In other words, congestion is dependent on other factors which are not directly connected to the prison facility itself. It goes without saying that therefore the congestion in the prison to happen change must first happen in the courts and the criminal justice system. They also demand that authorities within the states set up mechanisms to ensure that suspects are tried within a reasonable period, an audit of cases on holding charge in the prisons, and also provide free legal services for selected inmates every year. We stress the need for quick and wholesome reforms anchored on legislative backing. The dangers inherent in the present ineffective criminal adjudicatory process coupled with overblotted facilities cannot be overemphasized. It should be a cause for worry that majority of the inmates in these facilities are persons in the prime of their youthful lives. Continuing with the trend whereby the destinies of these inmates are made subject of endless expensive conferences and seminars without practical change is tantamount to sowing the seeds of peril.
