FG Is Focused On Building Modern Prisons, Says Dambazau.
The Federal Government has unveiled plans to invest in the building of modern prisons across the country.
He said, “Most of our prisons, particularly those situated in urban centres are more than a century old; over a hundred years old.“So, what we do is to ensure that we build modern prisons that will meet the required universal standard for the treatment and rehabilitation of prison inmates. According to him, correctional facilities in the country are in dire need of rehabilitation or outright replacement.The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Interior, Mr Adams Jagaban, also addressed the audience at the event.
“Since 1999 that we have been working hard to pass this bill, it has never reached this level but with the cooperation of the current Controller-General of Prisons, we have reached the position we are today,” Jagaban added.
