The unfair treatment of prisoners in a Nigerian prison. Why do you think the police officers get away with treating the prisoners unfairly? How does the author's description of the Nigerian prison compare to what you know about prisons in the United States

Answer and Explanation:

1. The police get away from the inhuman treatment that is given to prisoners, because the State assumes no responsibility for the well-being and rehabilitation of prisoners. On the contrary, there is an increasing neglect of the prison system in the country by political authorities. This results in inefficient enforcement, poor funding that encourages abusive police behavior towards prisoners.

2. It is possible to see similar situations between prisons in Nigeria and the USA, regarding the glamorization of police work and the reduction of the severity of oppressive behavior by police officers, and a reform of this entire system is needed in both countries.
