In what came as a huge surprise to many Nigerians, the facility has a standard studio for recording music, an exquisite sitting room with cushion furniture, a television set and a nice eatery.
Prisoners there also use washing machine, dryer, wardrobes and other benefits usually obtainable in well-to-do homes.

"Build this in Nigeria, and you'd see people commit crimes just to go lounge here. Our situations are different. This can only happen where life outside is better than prison.
"BTW, if we have an effective criminal justice system, more than half our population will be in prison."
@enos_hillary reacted:
"Nigeria can only be a serious country with reasonable government when we start seeing good hospitals and a well built schools. It will take Nigeria 100yrs to get to where Norway is."
