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:

    1. Every person shall be regarded as having an intrinsic dignity and view himself regardless of his condition.
    2. Penal institution shall have as one of their essential purpose at least equal in the development of the individual human prison.
    3. To persuade national government to ask the United Nation to adopt an ICAE draft resolution.
    4. To amend the substandard minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners (IBE, 2006).
