CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
This requires little or no effort to convince Nigerians that prison in the
country is 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 aimed at the international be
administration.
The primary purpose of penal establishment is provides a secured human
containment for people who are in custody. Rusk (1967) 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 1989-1992in 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:
3.
To persuade national government to adopt penal policies which include the
following:
a. Every person
shall be regarded as having an intrinsic dignity and view himself regardless of
his condition.
b. Penal
institution shall have as one of their essential purpose at least equal in the
development of the individual human prison.
c. To persuade
national government to ask the United Nation to adopt an ICAE draft resolution.
d. To amend the
substandard minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners (IBE, 1988).
Prison cannot finance
educational programmes themselves. Hence this was established in prison by the
former civilian government of Kano State Late Alhaji Barku Zuwo in 1986 when he
was serving seven years jail terms in this research project have decided to
discuss in Oko prison Benin City. Furthermore, I also discuss the benefits and
constraints of adult education programme obtained in Oko Prison, Benin City,
and also have some cite some examples of those prisoners who have actually
benefited from these various adult education programme.
Prison education programmes on Oko Prison, Benin city is definitely good but
looking at the various adult education programme in the prison, the major
question is how effective are these adult education programmes considering the
constraints which are finance, the following questions are raised.
a.
Are these programmes well financed? This is in respect of who finances the
programme, if it is government or the prisoners themselves, and if the finance
is enough to run the programme.
b.
Are these organizations of these programmes effective?
The purpose of this study is to
find out whether there are educational opportunities in Oko prison Benin City
and the various adult educational programmes obtained in Oko Prison. It is also
to find out whether these programmes have made impact of the inmates moral
life, it is hoped that this study will help to encourage the inmates towards
participating in the prison education in general.

Is there significant relationship between the various adult education
programmes in Oko-Prison and the available manpower?
2.

education programmes in Oko Prison and the adequate provision of books.

their various adult education programmes. Finally, the research will also be of
benefit to ex-convicts and other researcher wishing to improve on the same topic

scope therefore the researcher point on the benefit and constraint of adult
education programme in the prison, in Oko Prison, Benin City, Edo State.
