dc.description.abstractconditions, which impact the quality of life (QoL) of inmates. Nigeria, like other developing countries, has a growing prison population. However, the facilities in these correctional centres have been widely criticised for violating human rights. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the types, nature, and proposed solutions to these challenges by examining studies conducted between January 2010 and May 2023. The review included quantitative and qualitative research from peer-reviewed journals and grey literature, focusing on studies published in English. A comprehensive literature search was performed using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Academia, Research Gate and Scopus. Manual searches of reference lists and grey literature were also conducted. The initial search produced 181 articles; after removing duplicates and screening for relevance, 20 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final review. Content analysis identified common themes and patterns, providing an overarching view of the QoL in Nigerian correctional centres. Findings indicate that inmates in Nigerian prisons face numerous challenges. The study concludes with recommendations for the Nigerian government to address these issues by investing in gender-friendly infrastructures and effective rehabilitation programs.
