Can this happen in Nigeria?
Since 2012, Brazil has implemented a program known as "Remission for Reading," which allows prisoners to reduce their sentences by reading books and writing reports.
For each approved book report, inmates can have four days deducted from their sentence, with a maximum of 12 books per year, totaling up to 48 days annually.
The program aims to promote literacy, critical thinking, and personal development among inmates, facilitating their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
Participants select books from the prison library, which includes materials in Braille, audiobooks, and foreign languages to accommodate diverse needs.
After reading, inmates have 10 days to write a review demonstrating their understanding of the text.
These reviews are evaluated by a commission comprising educators, librarians, and civil society representatives.
This initiative has been recognized for its positive impact on inmates' lives, offering them a constructive way to reduce their sentences while fostering personal growth and reducing recidivism.
Me: This is what is called correctional or reformational or rehabilitation center.
