ABSTRACT
Prisoners’ management in Nigeria has
long been a neglected area and has only recently been included in the 2018
vision document under the e-governance. Currently, prisoner’s records are
maintained in a very rudimentary way in the form of manual files and registers.The findings indicated that the number of inmates is
escalating and the current manual system cannot handle the records well and the
required operations in real time and efficiently is required. This method of
data management often results in human error, delay to retrieve information
etc. Thus, a Web based Prison Information System was designed and implemented
to manage prisoner’s records for the Nigerian prison service Enugu in other to solve the problem of data security, accessibility, timely
report production and avoid redundancy. The objective
of this project is to ensure the availability of data in digital form for
preservation, analysis and reporting. To ensure that there is no impersonation
of the prisoners. In order to achieve the above objectives, a method has to be
used which is SSADM (structured system analysis and design method) which is
systems approach to the analysis and design of information systems. This
methodology has a relationship to waterfall model because it has stages that
helped me create my web site. This project was done using Html (hypertext
markup language), Css (cascading style sheet), JavaScript, php for server
scripting and MySQL database was used to store and manage the prisoner’s
records. They are the technologies used in designing the website. The
technologies mentioned enabled me achieve a result of creating web based prison
information management system.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Management
of prisons in Nigeria has long been a neglected area which has recently been
incorporated in the e-governance program of Government of Nigeria. Currently a
rudimentary process of storing all the prisoner data in manual files and
registers is in place. The Prison Information System project will integrate all
the prisoner data into a single integrated system which will in turn result all
the information being present in a digital format. ICT in prisons was initiated
in the year 2002 at Delhi Prisons, Tihar[1]. The Tihar Prisons Complex in New
Delhi is the biggest prison complex in Asia comprising of 9 prisons and one
District Jail at Rohini with a total strength of more than 11,000 prisoners
against a normal sanctioned capacity of 6250 prisoners. In a year about 70,000
- 80,000 inmates remain lodged in these prisons for different duration and
crimes committed by them. This prison population has about 80% under trials and
includes about 480 women inmates. About 400 inmates are foreigners from different
parts of the world. Many high security criminals also live here. There has been
a substantial increase in number of prison inmates coming to Tihar because of a
phenomenal increase in the crime scene at Delhi that has resulted in the
increase of the ICT needs and its management at the Tihar Jail Complex.
Nearly 1700-1800
visitors meet their relative inmates’ everyday. There was manual system of
booking (meetings) in each jail for its respective inmates. Centralised visitor
record was not available. There was lack of exchange of visitors’ information
within jailsand prison headquarters. No provision for identification /
detection / verification of visitors was there.
Managing
the prisoner record and monitoring of prisoner / visitor was always difficult
since most of the records were normally maintained manually, so the concerned
authorities were required to go through all the registers to find out the
details and status of the inmate as well as of the visitor.
In
order to cope up with the increasing number of prisoners being lodged in, the
Tihar Administration required a re-engineering and rationalization of their key
business processes and functions of prisoners’ related information and their
computerization in order to speed up the processing of information need of
courts and various other national agencies[2].
As
the technology evolution is taking place, there arose a need for centralization
of prisoner’s data to facilitate information exchange and data sharing to the
users of the prison. It shall reduce administrative overheads, speed up
responsiveness to users, reduce risks involved in inmate’s custody, eliminated
obsolete processes and reap cost-cutting benefits.
1.1
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Management of prison’s
in Nigeria is still at a nascent stage and follows rudimentary processes. Most
of the prisons in Nigeria have a collection of manual files and registers to
store prisoner/criminal records. This is a very inefficient and cumbersome way
of storing records which greatly impedes the flow of critical information as
well as makes looking up of information time consuming. Also, different files
and registers arerequired to store the information which is relevant to a
single prisoner. This hinders the profiling process of prisoners.
1.2
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The
main purpose behind the implementation of the Prison Information System (PIS)
is to enhance the administrative capabilities of the jails in terms of
monitoring and security of the prison while improving the efficiency and
productivity of the Prisons. The objectives of the project are to develop
system which can:
ü Makes
sure there is proper monitoring of the prisons by the top officials
ü It ensures that the discipline and decorum of the
jails is maintained by both the employees and the prisoners
ü To
ensure that no impersonation of the prisoners happens by proper validation and
authentication of the prisoner’s identity
ü To improve the productivity and efficiency of
the prisons so as to facilitate the usage of the available work force for
sensitive work while leveraging technology to reduce the mundane workload of
the employees
ü Makes sure that there is availability of data
in digital form for preservation, analysis and reporting.
1.3
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
The
nature of project is such that outcome of project could be quantitatively
measured only for few parameters such as
·
Automatic detection of duplication
·
Immediate generation of report on
categorization of prisoners on basis of their cases, period of confinement etc.
·
Automatic calculation of Remission to be
granted to a convict prisoner for good behavior, discipline etc.
·
Reduction in the cost (Saving of
resources) of physical production of prisoners in Courts.
