Governor Seyi Makinde Oyo State has ordered the demolition of an “illegal rehabilitation centre” in the Ojoo area of Ibadan, the state capital.

This comes a day after over 200 inmates were rescued from the centre at Olore Central Mosque after a police raid.

The governor gave the order during a visit to the centre, on Tuesday, after which he visited the camp where the freed persons are being rehabilitated.

Shina Olukolu, commissioner of police, said the centre was discovered after a tip-off by an informant.

He said young men and women, who have been subjected to inhuman treatment, were found at the centre.

Olukolu said five persons suspected to be connected with the centre were arrested, and that the police would secure the facility and conduct further investigations.

Faosat Sanni, commissioner for women affairs in the state, said the victims will be relocated to a safer place and those with health challenges will be taken to hospital.

Seyi has been performing well, proof that when a technocrat holds a position of authority he can do well than politicians.

On these centers I wonder what exactly goes on there? If these are cases of mental illnesses (Which I tend to tilt towards), torture on one who doesn't have a balanced frame of mind? Double suffer, I truly sympathize with the victims.

But still untop the matter how you go dey live for Naija as one of the masses wey you no go get skushies for head?

Good move by the governor. Its a horrible place.

Is demolising it the best solution? Why not seize it and turn it into something useful. My thoughts though.

I support the motion

Na wa ohh

I mentioned this place on one of my past comment
The place is really a house of Terror

Seyi is already a selfmade man, he came to set records straight and not some jobless and visionless politheifcians that just came to sit to amass wealth...

I'm serious and you're joking. Many properties used for hideous purposes have been transformed into new purposes all over the world.

Prison Repurposing Projects
Prison closures offer a challenge to officials and the communities that are impacted, particularly in rural areas with limited employment opportunities. In recent years, entrepreneurs, elected officials and community leaders in a handful of states have reimagined sites that once incarcerated prisoners for new uses. In Manhattan, the Osborne Association, a nonprofit organization, is working to convert a closed women’s prison into a space that provides services to women leaving incarceration. An entrepreneur in California purchased a closed correctional facility and plans to repurpose it as a medical marijuana cultivation center. At least four states – Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia – have converted closed prisons into tourist destinations open to visitors and host Halloween events.6)
Other new purposes for closed prisons include a small farm incubator, homeless shelter, museum and special events venue, and a distillery.

Arthur Kill Correctional Facility (New York, Medium Security Prison):
Movie Studio
Opened in 1976, the prison housed 931 male inmates and closed in 2011. The former prison sits on 69 acres of waterfront property along Staten Island’s West Shore and is surrounded by commercial, recreational, and industrial properties. The site was previously operated by the state’s Office of Drug Abuse Services as a drug rehabilitation center prior to its transfer to the New York Department of Correctional Services.7)
The Empire State Development agency announced in early 2014 that Brooklyn’s Broadway Stages planned to buy the facility for use as a movie studio. The studio purchased the prison for $7 million and plans to invest at least $20 million. Expectations for the project include the creation of 800 jobs over a two-year period with as many as 1,500 over the next five years.

Bayview Correctional Facility (New York, Medium Security Prison):
Reentry Center
First established in Manhattan in 1931 as the Seaman’s House Y.M.C.A., a place for merchant sailors to stay while their ships were docked at the nearby Chelsea Piers it later became a state-run drug treatment center in 1967. The state converted the center to a prison in the early 1970s following an increase in New York’s prison population due in part to a change in policy that required lengthy prison terms for prison bound drug defendants.

The NoVo Foundation, a private foundation in collaboration with the women’s real-estate development company the Goren Group, will convert the closed prison to an office building known as the Women’s Building. Officials plan to contract out with nonprofit organizations that provide services to women. The building’s development team is also collaborating with groups like the Coalition for Women Prisoners and the Women and Justice Project to involve formerly incarcerated women in the prison’s repurposing. Plans for the prison’s redevelopment include landscaped areas and an art gallery that may double as an event space.

Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (Tennessee, Maximum Security Prison):
Distillery and Tourist Attraction
Tennessee opened the maximum security prison in 1896 in the remote, southern part of the Appalachian Plateau. The prison had a capacity of 584 and was used as the state’s reception/classification and diagnostic center before closing in 2009.
Efforts are underway to repurpose the closed prison into a distillery and tourist attraction. Brushy Mountain Group, a private developer entity, approached the local economic development council and county officials to discuss plans for the prison’s reuse. Voters approved the prison’s conversion by a 2-1 margin in a referendum during the 2013 local election cycle. The private consortium has moved to transform the site into a tourist attraction, including a “moonshine” distillery, restaurant, horse trails, and campgrounds.

Dawson State Jail (Texas, Medium Security Prison):
Urban Redevelopment
Opened in 1997, the Dawson State Jail (DSJ) was a co-gender facility with a capacity of over 2,200 beds located near Dallas. Reports of inadequate medical care, including multiple inmate deaths, and unsafe staffing levels at the facility led a coalition of state and national groups to mobilize in support of the prison’s closing. Texas state lawmakers in 2013 decided not to renew the contract for the prison operated by the for-profit CoreCivic (Corrections Corporation for America), but owned by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. DSJ was located in an area targeted for economic development; modest declines in the state’s prison population resulted in shuttering the prison rather than a transfer to public control. The prison was a co-gender facility with a capacity of over 2,200 beds. The closure of the DSJ was supported by local officials.

The closed prison opened up an opportunity for the Trinity River Corridor Project a plan for urban development around a 20-mile area that would include houses, waterfront condominiums, office buildings and shops and restaurants. DSJ was long viewed as an impediment to moving the development plan forward. As of 2016, plans to demolish the existing jail or repurpose the shuttered correctional facility have yet to be decided.
Fulton Correctional Facility (New York, Medium Security Prison):
Reentry Center
The Fulton Correctional Facility in the Bronx, New York was converted to a medium security prison in 1975. The building opened as an Episcopal Church in 1906 and since its construction at various times had housed a nursing home, drug rehabilitation center, and Jewish community center. The shuttered prison was among 13 state prisons closed in 2011. While used as a prison, the facility housed up to 900 inmates on work release.

During 2015, New York City transferred the facility’s deed to the Osborne Association, a criminal justice reform group. Osborne is managing the complete reconfiguration of the building from a prison to a community reentry hub for formerly incarcerated individuals that includes temporary housing and job training. Resources to support the building’s conversion include a $6 million grant from the Empire State Development Corporation, a state fund established to support economic development in communities experiencing prison closures.

Gainesville Correctional Facility (Florida, Medium Security Prison):
Homeless Center
Opened in 1991 with a capacity of 507 beds, the prison was closed in 2012 due to budget cuts, and the site was acquired by the city of Gainesville. The shuttered prison is surrounded by a wooded area about a mile from the regional airport. City commissioners repurposed the former prison into, Grace Marketplace, a nonprofit one-stop homeless center that provides job training as well as programs for the broader community like organizational meeting space. Stakeholders are working to remodel the facility so that it looks less like a prison; the renovated mess hall has new tiling and there is a raised-bed garden on the grounds. The center is funded by a combination of resources from the city of Gainesville and the surrounding county for its first year of operation.

Plans to convert the closed prison also involve leasing building space to other nonprofit agencies to increase the level of services available on the site.

Hanna City Work Camp (Illinois, Minimum Security Prison):
Small Farm Incubator
The site of the Hanna City Work Camp in Peoria, Illinois was not always used for a prison. The United States Air Force once used the former work camp site for radar tracking; that ended in 1968 due to budget cuts, and was soon repurposed as a state correctional facility. The prison closed in 2002 for budgetary reasons, and the state signed over the prison camp to Peoria County in 2008. The property transfer came with conditions including a requirement that its repurposing be for public use.

The Peoria County Board has convened discussions to repurpose the shuttered facility. Community consensus has focused on using the site as a small farm incubator that includes training and marketing; the site will also serve as a distribution center for locally grown food. According to the University of Illinois, transforming the former prison into a re-imagined agricultural development center will produce an estimated $124 million in new farm income for the region.

I don't think is a bad thing is a bad thing to take your insane child to a rehabilitation center, the bad thing there is that they were not registered, is for the good of that child because if you leave the child he or she will run mad completely and destroy his life
