Abstract:
This handbook supports justice reform in Nigeria. It follows CIDJAP’s 1986 mission: to empower people, promote integral development, challenge injustice, create hope, and work for peace among citizens nationwide.
The handbook addresses abuses against prisoners and draws on workshops with police and lawmakers, including the Enugu State House of Assembly. It promotes bail and sentencing reforms to reduce awaiting trial detention of prison inmates.
