The Carmelite Prisoners' Interest Organisation (CAPIO) says community service sentences will deter offenders from committing crimes, reduce prolonged trial period and cost of maintaining inmates in the country.
The Legal Officer of CAPIO, Mr Wilson Nneji, said this on Monday after a presentation at a One-day Workshop for the Validation of the Draft Framework on Community Service Measures in Enugu State Justice System.
Nneji, who made a presentation on "Understanding The Draft Framework: Overview of the Framework's Purpose, Scope, Key Components and Principles Underlying the Framework, said that the validation and implementation of the draft framework would benefit stakeholders within the Justice system.
According to him, it will lead to more stakeholders at the community levels - tradtional and relugious leaders and families and kindreds - getting more be involved in the character reformation and rehabilitation of deviant individuals in the community.
"This is becuase no family, kindred, community or religious group will want a deviant individual of their own bringing shame and negative name calling on them.
"It will ensure that minor offenders and at times first offenders do not mix up with hardened criminals and they continue with a crime-free life-style after their community service sentence," he said.
He noted that after the validation of the draft, the next stage would training of the community service officers or enfocers or implementers as well as making handbook or guide available to stakeholders in the implementation.
The state's Commissioner for Justice, Dr Kingsley Udeh, commended CAPIO for the investment and energe put in to promote and propagate community service sentencing as a veritable alternative to custodian service sentencing in Enugu State.
Udeh, represented by a Director in Department of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mrs Ngozi Okoye, said that the Ministry of Justice through the DPP would give support for the community service sentence to succeed in the state.
"I have already appointed some legal officers under my office as community service officers and positioned their minds for them to develop themselves on it and seizure any training opportunity on it as well," she said.
Speaking, Assistant Controller of Corrections, Mr Benjamin Ugwu, noted that there had been laid down provisions in the new Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) Act for non-custodian service or sentence as well as officers serving in the non-custodian service.
Ugwu said: "What we wanted is for CAPIO to follow NCoS lead and guidance on community service already enshrined in the new NCoS Act.
"There is no need to reinvent another programme by CAPIO and we presently have enough officers in the non-custodian service of NCoS Enugu State Command. So, there is a need to work with the state Controller of Corrections."
Contributing, Justice C.C. Ani of the Enugu State High Court, while commending CAPIO for a good job, asked: "who provides tools that those convicted on community service uses to carry out their routine community work.
Ani further asked: "Who provides uniform for the convicts serving a community service and when will the state High Court open an office for community service officers as well as training for community service officers to understand the system and their obligation?"
Responding, the Executive Director of CAPIO, Rev. Fr. Jude Isiguzo, said that the validation workshop for the proposed operational framework for community service sentence was sequel and a follow-up to the earlier meeting held on the matter by stakeholders on March 18, 2024.
Isiguzo said that a key reason for the validation framework for community service was meant to provide a guide on how it can be effectively implemented in Enugu State and various stakeholders in the justice system keying into it.
"Therefore, the aim of this workshop is for all the stakeholders to check, correct and prove the validity or accuracy of the proposed framework for operationalization of community service measures," he said.
He also said that CAPIO would financially provide for all tools and uniforms used by those convicted on community service once the implementation kick-off in the state.
"While CAPIO is currently building quarters in Oji River to house those that do not have their communities within the state and have no one to stand for them as guarantor(s). For them to stay as serve their community service sentence.
"We appeal to the Chief Judge to provide community service office, appoint enough personnel to the office, who CAPIO will provide training, retraining and guidance to," he added.
Doing the validation, the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Raymond Ozoemena, called on various ministries, agencies and departments of government and srakeholders involved in community service to appoint desk officers or officers for training and implementation.
Ozoemena, represented by Justice Anthony Onovo, lauded CAPIO for devoting time, energy and financial resources to promote, propagate, engage and see that community service sentence work well and effectively in the state.
"When community service sentencing comes in full implementation; it will check congestion in our correction centres and act as a good deterrance to crime in our communities and state since offenders will serve in the open glare of all who know them," he said.
The chief judge, who later put the validation of the franework to a vioce vote of all stakeholders present, got a unianimous "Yes Shout" for the framework to be adopted by all.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!

He has become my model for philanthropy and community development.
