A total of 1,754 inmates are currently being housed at Enugu
maximum prison, while 160 condemned prisoners have been on the death roll for
years awaiting the hangman’s noose, against the prison’ initial 600 capacity.
This was revealed at a one-day strategy meeting of
stakeholders in the justice and prisoners welfare sector organised by the
Catholic Institute for Development Justice and Peace, CIDJAP, in Enugu, over
the weekend. The institute therefore
urged Government to do something about it fast, and it’s not in any way hygienic
for eight people to share a room meant for two.
