Female Inmates Celebrate Valentine’s Day With Wardens At Kirikiri Prison

Kirikiri

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.
