Civil war and violence over oil, as well as the horrible distribution of oil wealth have made Nigeria a hot bed of instability, so it is only rational that their prison system, just as the country is, would be horribly corrupt and unfair. This case does not only go to show the horrors that these mentally-ill individuals face in Nigeria, and how terrible their prison system is, but also the deploarable state of their health care system, or lack thereof where the mentally ill do not only have a lack of access to reasonable treatment, but they have no access to treatment at all. This is simply astonishing and deploarble.John Rambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587384982584573750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15483635.post-13938905573155470402009-04-30T13:04:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:04:00.000-04:00While this case of incarceration is inescapably un...While this case of incarceration is inescapably unacceptable, people around the world in third and second world countries are incarcerated under circumstances beyond their control. This occurs in the first world and the second world. Recognizably, there is a great deal of different factors of every circumstance, but what does it help? Are our governments protecting us? Are they protecting society? Is all fair? We know from our visit at York County that costs are high to keep people locked up. While Nigeria’s treatment of prisoners with mental disease is intolerable and unacceptable, should we not further evaluate the prison system as a whole? Some argue that programs that focus more on reconciliation and solving the problem that caused the crime to occur rather than putting the “criminal” behind concrete walls is the best alternative. People commit unfathomable acts. Does locking them up fix it or avenge it?beaner008https://www.blogger.com/profile/11381155838207914901noreply@blogger.com
