This study reports an empirical data on the personality profile and the accompanying in-depth key
information interview on the living experiences of 406 males and 98 female convicted inmates of 10 randomly
selected of the 231 prisons in Nigeria. Data revealed a notable deviation from the United Nations minimum
expectations of treatment of offenders. The study thus agreed with the other advocates of prison environment
conditions reforms and observance of human rights therein that there is a wide room for improvements as these
prisons a more of training and recruitment centres for crime commission among the inmates than the character
remediation and personality reformatory centre it was designed to be. Most times they serve to harden the first
time criminals. This study thus views it essential in the wake of the reforms that the present democratically
elected government is undertaking in economy as well as social life of the people, not to leave the prisons out.
This is in especially the area of physical structures and accommodation of the inmates and more importantly
the addition of professional help givers to the list of staff members and the provision of special time for the
inmates to receive the spectrum of psychological help that are focused towards the modern day essence of
imprisonment.
