LunagisthubLife Inside Jos Prison: A Disturbing Reality
Inmates at the Jos Custodial Centre in Plateau State, Nigeria, are facing unimaginable hardships. According to sources, the prison is plagued by severe shortages of food and water, inadequate medical care, and a culture of brutality enforced by certain officials.
The inmates have expressed deep frustration with the prison’s conditions. “We’re treated like animals, not humans,” they lament. The food is particularly appalling, with inmates surviving on watery beans and other unpalatable meals. Meat and fish have been absent from their diets since last year.
The situation is further exacerbated by the lack of medical attention. Inmates claim that medical care is virtually non-existent, leading to unnecessary suffering and even deaths. “People are dying in Jos Custodial Centre,” a source revealed.
The inmates’ plight highlights the need for urgent reform within the Nigerian prison system. The government must take immediate action to address these inhumane conditions and ensure that inmates are treated with dignity and respect.
The Jos Custodial Centre’s disturbing conditions are a stark reminder of the need for prison reform in Nigeria. It’s time for the government to take action and prioritize the welfare of inmates, ensuring they receive basic human rights and dignity.
