Although it is not unusual for religious organizations to operate within penitentiaries, this article gives attention to the scope and importance of the involvement of such organizations in the lives of inmates in Nigeria.

Indeed, churches have also considerably assisted in the rehabilitation of prisoners. In effect, religious organizations can be seen as a substitute to the quasi-absent welfare state in Nigeria.
