The length of sentence is important since, as already * the only establishment to which women sentenced to imprisonment are committed Is the Rotterdam Women's Prison; the information given in this pamphlet, therefore, refers only to male prisoners. 1 stated, a number of institutions are intended for prisoners serving short-term sentences and a number of others for those serving long-term sentences.

  • Arrest, Remand and Awaiting Trial Syndrome in Criminal Justice: Fixing the Jigsaw to End Prison Congestion
    ARREST, REMAND AND AWAITING TRIAL SYNDROME IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE: FIXING THE JIGSAW TO END PRISON CONGESTION A PAPER PRESENTED BY: HON. JUSTICE PETER. A. AKHIHIERO LL.B (HONS) IFE; LL.M LAGOS; B.L. AT THE LAW WEEK OF THE EKPOMA BRANCH OF THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION (N.B.A) HELD AT EKPOMA ON FRIDAY 27TH DAY OF JULY, 2018 ARREST, REMAND AND AWAITING TRIAL SYNDROME IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE: FIXING THE JIGSAW TO END PRISON CONGESTION 1.01 INTRODUCTION: A viable criminal justice system is expected to secure the lives and property of members of the society. Crime prone societies will invariable result in low productivity, strife, discord, lawlessness and indiscipline. It is an invitation to the status of a failed State. This presentation will focus on the administration of criminal justice in Nigeria with particular references to the issues of arrest, remand and the challenges of awaiting trial suspects. In his dissertation on the subject of personal freedom, the Rt. Honourable Lord Denning, Master of the Rolls posited thus: “It must be matched with social security, by which I mean, the peace and good order of the community in which we live. The freedom of the just man is worth little to him if he can be preyed upon by the murderer or the thief. Every society must have the means to protect itself from marauders. It must have powers to arrest, to search and to imprison those who break its laws. So long as those powers are properly exercised, they are the safeguards of freedom. But powers may be abused, and if those powers are abused, there is no tyranny like them.”1 In safeguarding our freedoms, we need an efficient and effective criminal justice system that will protect us from the unwholesome activities of miscreants in our society.

  • The Death Knell Tolls for Reparations in in Re African-American Slave Descendants Litigation
    SEVENTH CIRCUIT REVIEW Volume 3, Issue 2 Spring 2008 THE DEATH KNELL TOLLS FOR REPARATIONS IN IN RE AFRICAN-AMERICAN SLAVE DESCENDANTS LITIGATION * CHRISTINA E. LUTZ Cite as: Christina E. Lutz, The Death Knell Tolls for Reparations in In re African- American Slave Descendants Litigation, 3 SEVENTH CIRCUIT REV. 532 (2008), at http://www.kentlaw.edu/7cr/v3-2/lutz.pdf. INTRODUCTION The Seventh Circuit, in its recent decision, In re Slave Descendants Litigation, dismissed the claims of plaintiffs seeking disgorgement of the profits earned by Northern companies as a result of their illegal involvement in slavery.1 It is the latest in a long line of reparations cases dismissed by courts for various reasons, including lack of standing and statute of limitations. Part One of this Comment outlines the history of Northern involvement in slavery. Part Two traces the legal hurdles faced by African American plaintiffs during and after the statutory time period in which to bring reparations claims. Part Three explores the law of reparations, and the relevant case law. Part Four of this Comment delineates the holdings of the district court and the Seventh Circuit opinion in Slave Descendants. Part Five explains the various tolling doctrines available to courts to remedy time-barred claims.

  • Administrative Detention
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 14079 06 June 2016 Administrative detention Report1 Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights Rapporteur: Lord Richard BALFE, United Kingdom, European Conservatives Group Summary The Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights stresses the importance of the right to liberty and security guaranteed in Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is worried that administrative detention has been abused in certain member States for purposes of punishing political opponents, obtaining confessions in the absence of a lawyer and/or under duress, or apparently for stifling peaceful protests. Regarding administrative detention as a tool to prevent terrorism or other threats to national security, the committee recalls that purely preventive detention of persons suspected of intending to commit a criminal offence is not permissible and points out that mere restrictions (as opposed to deprivation) of liberty are permissible in the interests of national security or public safety and for the prevention of crime. All member States concerned should refrain from using administrative detention in violation of Article 5. Instead, they should make use of available tools respecting human rights in order to protect national security or public safety. Giving examples of such tools, the committee recalls their legal requirements, including a prohibition of discrimination on the basis of nationality. 1.
