Background of the Study:
Prison systems are meant to serve as corrective institutions that help rehabilitate offenders and protect society. However, in Nigeria, the prison system has long faced challenges, including overcrowding, inadequate healthcare, and violations of prisoners' rights. In Suleja, Niger State, the prison system is no exception, and the rights of prisoners are often compromised, especially in terms of living conditions, access to justice, and opportunities for rehabilitation.
The Nigerian government has made efforts to address the issues in the prison system through various reforms and rehabilitation programs. However, the effectiveness of these programs in ensuring prisoners' rights and rehabilitation remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the state of prisoners’ rights in Suleja and assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in promoting human dignity and successful reintegration into society.
Statement of the Problem:
Prisoners in Suleja face numerous challenges, including poor living conditions, limited access to healthcare, and a lack of rehabilitation opportunities. The inadequacy of prison reforms and the failure to uphold prisoners' rights often lead to the violation of human dignity, with long-term implications for rehabilitation and reintegration into society. This study seeks to evaluate the current state of prisoners' rights in Suleja and assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in the area.
Objectives of the Study:
To assess the state of prisoners' rights in Suleja, Niger State.
To evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in Suleja’s prison system.
To recommend strategies for improving prisoners’ rights and rehabilitation programs in Suleja.
Research Questions:
What are the key issues affecting prisoners' rights in Suleja, Niger State?

Research Hypotheses:
The state of prisoners' rights in Suleja has a negative impact on the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders.
Rehabilitation programs in Suleja’s prison system are ineffective in promoting prisoners’ rights and social reintegration.
Improving prison conditions and rehabilitation programs in Suleja will result in better human rights protection for prisoners.
Scope and Limitations of the Study:
This study will focus on the prison system in Suleja, Niger State, particularly evaluating prisoners' rights and rehabilitation programs. Limitations include challenges in gaining access to prison facilities, reluctance of prisoners to participate due to fear of retribution, and potential biases in prison management.
