A pioneering book on prisons in West Africa, Colonial Systems of
Control: Criminal Justice in Nigeria is the first comprehensive
presentation of life inside a West African prison. Chapters by
prisoners inside Kirikiri maximum security prison in Lagos, Nigeria
are published alongside chapters by scholars and activists. While
prisoners document the daily realities and struggles of life inside
a Nigerian prison, scholar and human rights activist Viviane
Saleh-Hanna provides historical, political, and academic contexts
and analyses of the penal system in Nigeria. The European penal
models and institutions imported to Nigeria during colonialism are
exposed as intrinsically incoherent with the community-based
conflict-resolution principles of most African social structures
and justice models. This book presents the realities of
imprisonment in Nigeria while contextualizing the colonial legacies
that have resulted in the inhumane brutalities that are endured on
a daily basis. Keywords: Nigeria, West Africa, penal system,
maximum-security prison.
