Abstract

This study focuses on the inmates’ plans for life after Custodial Centers while undergoing rehabilitation programme. Qualitative methods of data (in-depth interviews, key informant interviews) were used in sourcing for data.  A total of 7 participants took part in IDIs while 5 participants partook in KIIs. The data collected were analyzed through content analysis. The study showed the rehabilitation programmes provided for the female inmates of Custodial Center as involving both physical and emotional counseling. Rehabilitation programmes available have the aim of enabling the inmates to survive in the outside world without depending on people for financial support at all times.  In spite of the benefits and appropriateness of the rehabilitation programme, several problems were found confronting the inmates.  These have affected the rehabilitation programmes put in place for effective reintegration into the larger society after release from custodial center.  These challenges are being classified into 4 parts, namely, (a) psychological problems and problems of cordial interaction among the Inmates, (b) uncertainty about life outside custodial center, (c) fear of Stigmatization and discrimination, and (d) family neglect. Recommendations were made in line with the challenges noted in the rehabilitation processes available within the Custodial Center where this study took place.  These were targeted at the Government, the Judicial Service Commission, Nigerian Correctional Service and the General Public. Keywords: Inmates, Incarceration, Correctional Service, Custodial Center.

Abstract

Abstract It is obvious that tourism development has not been given serious attention in Nigeria, still the likely implications of global warming on it cannot be ignored. It is in view of this that this paper is exploring ways by which the two phenomena have been affecting each other.  Using Nigeria as a case, the implications of this on the health of the populace was given attention in the study. The change in the nature of the climate was mentioned as inevitable, so also is the possibility of this influencing the graceful spread of diseases among the populace. In the process, negative manifestation of warmer climate like increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses and death besides the worsen conditions for air quality was noted. Probable increase in the frequency and strength of extreme events (such as floods, droughts, and storms) that threaten human safety and health were highlighted and discussed.  The paper brought to the fore, the inherent benefits of tourism when it takes a sustainable approach, which include simultaneous control of ravaging global warming.  In view of this, the paper made case for sustainable tourism and jettisoning of traditional ideas of tourism development for optimization of the benefits inherent therein. Keywords: Global Warming, Tourism, Ecotourism, Conservation, Greenhouse Effect
