Speaking about the rationale behind the new system, Director of Human Resources – SLCS, Dennis Harman said the project which he referred to as the “National Inmates Management System”, is a flagship exercise of the SLCS, designed to enable efficient inmate management.

He said the project will provide correctional centres with greater operational efficiency through a single point of access for information, including biographic, demographic, social and medical information.

“This initiative could not have come to fruition, but for the funding made available by Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA).

“As the world advances in terms of offender management, constant efforts are being made to promote respect for the rule of law and to ensure access to justice,” Harman said.
