Abstract

The Nigeria prison which was recently changed to “correctional section” are supposed to be a reformation and rehabilitation Centre for convicted prisoners who are convicted for one crimes or the other and not for the nonconvicted ones who are still awaiting court trials. However, what has become of prisons today is the congestion of both the convicted and non-convicted prisoners. Overcrowding is a feature of all criminal justice system across the board which poses serious challenges to both developed and developing nations. With adverse consequences on the incarcerated person, prison itself and the community to which the offender returns upon released. This paper as an Application of Queue Theory System on the reduction of prison congestion in the Nigerian Prison Service helps to increase the speed of attending to cases of prisoners awaiting court judgment.
