Inmates
at the Kirikiri Female Prison, Lagos, were not left out of Valentine’s Day
celebrations yesterday as they were hosted to a banquet of celebration by the
Prisons authorities.
Speaking
at the occasion, Deputy Comptroller of Prisons in-charge of the Female Prison,
Mrs Onwuli Isioma Leticia, explained that the celebration was a clear
demonstration of what Valentine meant and also to facilitate the reformation
process.
“We
actually want to show them love so that they can replicate it here and when
they go out of here. Since everyone outside the prison wall is celebrating, we
feel they deserve to celebrate also because being in prison is not the end of
life. And to achieve reformation, the purpose for which they are here, they
must be shown love.”
The
inmates looked radiant as some dressed in red and white symbolic of the day,
others dressed in multicoloured outfits. Talents in dancing, drama, recitation
and news broadcasting were displayed by the inmates as they celebrate love, and
they perhaps forgot their confinement for once.
