ABSTRACT
This research work empirically explored the impact of infectious epidemic on prison inmates in Nigeria a case study of corona virus disease. The objectives of this study were to examine the level of coronavirus disease in Nigeria, investigate the impact of coronavirus disease on prison inmates panicking level in Nigeria. The scope of the study is prison inmates in Nigeria, The infectious disease transmission mechanism theory was used as a framework. The research design used for this study is survey, the population targeted for this study consists of prison inmates in Kaduna state. 400 prison inmates were used as sample size and cluster sampling technique was applied. Instrument used for this study is the questionnaire. Data collected were collected from primary sources.
