Study Notes
Inmate Health Status in Nigeria
- Inmates are a vulnerable population with often-unexplored health challenges.
- This study surveyed 423 inmates at Ikoyi Correctional Centre in Lagos, Nigeria.
- A two-stage cluster sampling technique was utilized.
- A structured questionnaire based on validated tools gathered data on physical and mental health.
- Malaria was the most prevalent disease (31%).
- Overall physical health of inmates was rated poor (77.8%), fair (13.2%), and good (9.0%).
- Mental and emotional health concerns were prevalent, with 25.5% reporting hearing voices and 41.4% screened for severe depression.
- 50% rated their emotional health as poor, 29.7% as fair, 20.3% as good.
- Accessing healthcare was difficult for 41.3% of inmates; long waiting times were a barrier for 48.5%.
- The quality of care was rated poor (52.3%), fair (40.4%), and good (7.3%).
Socio-demographic factors, Detention History, and Physical Health Status
- The study found associations between inmates' socio-demographic factors (age, religion, tribe, education, occupation, income), detention history (length of detention, type of crime), and their physical health status.
- Specific groups (e.g., younger inmates, those of Christian faith, Yoruba tribe) displayed higher rates of poor health.
- Inmates with a longer detention time and those accused of serious crimes showed a disproportionate risk of poor health status.
Healthcare Availability and Quality
- Access to healthcare services was limited, with significant challenges in Nigeria's correctional facilities
- Long wait times, inadequate staffing, and shortages of essential medications were common barriers.
