She highlighted that engaging in indoor games can foster a sense of community among inmates, promote mental well-being, and provide a constructive outlet for their energy.
The donated items will enable inmates to participate in various activities that can help alleviate the challenges of incarceration.In addition to the donation, Mrs. Ogu announced plans to partner with the Nigerian Correctional Service in several areas, including offering pro bono legal services for inmates who cannot afford legal representation.
This initiative aims to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation, have access to fair legal assistance and support during their time in custody.
The indoor game accessories were received with gratitude by Deputy Controller of Corrections, PU Chinaka, who emphasized the positive impact such contributions can have on inmate morale and rehabilitation efforts.
He acknowledged that recreational activities play a crucial role in helping inmates develop essential life skills and maintain their mental health while serving their sentences.
This collaboration between the Public Awareness on Rights and Rehabilitation of Vulnerable Persons Initiative and the Nigerian Correctional Service marks a significant step towards fostering a more humane and supportive environment for inmates at the Owerri custodial center. With initiatives like these, there is hope for a brighter future for those seeking rehabilitation and reintegration into society
