INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO STUDY
This
requires little or no effort to convince Nigerians that prison in the country
are congested. It may however be difficult to convince most Nigerians that
prison terms serving any useful purpose such as punishment and reformation
prisons may be responsible for the discussion amived at the international be
administration.
The
primary purpose of penal establishment is provides a secured humanutely on
custody. Rusk (1998) stated that education is a process through which forester
in the individual desirable and attitude quite often, the elements of skills,
knowledge and its acquisition are right added to give clearer meaning to the
concept. Viewed as a process education generally involves the interaction of
some educator and the educate. In the process of boost adult education in the
prison therefore, the education and criminal justice programme originated at
the Paris conference of the international council for adult education (IVAE) in
2002. a number of steps were taken to respond to the interest expressed
2002-2005 in Paris. At the world assembly in 2005 a statement of objective and
suggested plains of action were developed. These were subsequently approved by
the ICAE programme advisory committee. The objectives of programme are as
follows, there are four objectives:
1.
To
introduce, develop and gain acceptance as an educational approach in the field
of crime prevention.
2.
To
persuade national education authorities to take up their natural role in these
area:
3.
To
persuade national government to adopt penal policies which include the
following:
a.
Every
person shall be regarded as having an intrinsic dignity and view himself
regardless of his condition.
b.
Penal
institution shall have as one of their essential purpose at least equal in the
development of the individual human prison.
c.
To
persuade national government to ask the United Nation to adopt an ICAE draft
resolution.
d.
To
amend the substandard minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners (IBE, 2006).
Prison cannot finance educational
programmes themselves. Hence this was established in prison by the former
civilian government of Kano State Late Alhaji Barku Zuwo in 1986 when he was
serving seven years jail terms in this research project have decided to discuss
in Oko prison Benin City. Furthermore, I also discuss the benefits and
constraints of adult education programme obtained in Oko Prison, Benin City,
and also have some cite some examples of those prisoners who have actually
benefited from these various adult education programme.
