Providing Access to Mental Wellness

Providing Access to Mental Wellness
Providing Access to Mental Wellness through counselling and therapy services is one of our thematic focus. Inmates in prisons are some of the most traumatized of the Nigerian society today and HRCRC through this department has been providing this service to inmates of the Abakaliki Correctional Centre (Prisons).
Part of our 2025 workplan is to extend this service to the Afikpo Correctional Centre (Prisons) and to kick start this initiative, HRCRC’s Deputy Director and Counsellor and the Access to Justice Team formally visited the Correctional Centre to facilitate this engagement.

HRCRC Secures the Release of Over 25 inmates from Abakaliki Prisons

HRCRC Secures the Release of Over 25 inmates from Abakaliki Prisons
HRCRC Secures the Release of Over 25 inmates from Abakaliki Prisons: Over the past 4 years, HRCRC represented about 30 inmates who were incarcerated in the Abakaliki Correctional Center (prisons) along with over 140 others in connection to a communal conflict in Ebonyi State. These individuals were denied bail and due process in courts and were detained by the state awaiting trial for over 3 years.
After a successful Alternative Dispute Resolution of said conflict facilitated by the Ebonyi State Government, over 150 awaiting trial inmates were released from detention in an atmosphere that was both exciting and broody.
HRCRC continues to advocate against the illegal and many times unjustified detention of individuals in our already oversaturated Correctional Centers that breed Human Rights Abuses, poor inhumane living conditions and practices, and other criminal tendencies.
