Inmates Revolt in Jos Prison Over Planned Reduction of Food Rations

Inmates Revolt in Jos Prison Over Planned Reduction of Food Rations

In a demonstration of discontent, inmates at the Correctional Center in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, staged a protest on Friday, objecting to plans to diminish their food rations amidst the prevailing economic challenges in the country.

The protest, which occurred following a tip-off about an impending reduction in food portions, saw inmates refusing breakfast and disregarding orders from custodial officials, as reported by Daily Trust.

During the protest, inmates gathered at the center of the prison yard, raising their voices in protest. However, custodial officials resorted to using tear gas to disperse the crowd and restore order, compelling the inmates to return to their rooms.

Confirming the incident, Comptroller Raphael Ibinuhi of the Jos Correctional Center attributed the protest to the escalating cost of goods in the market. He explained that the contractor responsible for providing food supplies indicated that they were compelled to reduce the size of food portions due to the soaring prices of food items.

Ibinuhi expressed his belief that the protest was unnecessary, emphasizing that the issue of food challenges and rising costs is a national concern being addressed by the federal government. He remained optimistic that steps taken by the government to tackle the issue would have a positive impact nationwide, including within Correctional centers.

The protest underscores the strain faced by inmates amidst the broader economic challenges in Nigeria, highlighting the importance of addressing issues related to food security and affordability across all sectors of society.
