Prison-based rehabilitation is a complex issue: while prisoners typically face a range of social, economic and personal challenges that may complicate their social reintegration into society, prisons often lack sufficient infrastructure, programmes, and resources, and may even exacerbate these problems.

In order to reduce re-offending, therefore, it is crucial to actively prepare prisoners for their successful re-settlement in society.

With this in mind, UNODC are hosting Expert Group Meetings and workshops to bring together a number of experts in a bid to encourage a comprehensive, rehabilitative approach to prison management.

We spoke with Uju Agomoh, National Project Coordinator with UNODC in Nigeria about the main benefits of rehabilitation programmes in prisons during one of these meetings.
