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
