ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE SECURITY AND JUSTICE
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE
To ensure speedy dispensation of justice, provide access to justice and welfare for inmates and advocate for reform of the criminal justice system.
Hope for Freedom Tournament
In this project, we engage stakeholders to support criminal justice reforms. We advocate for a reduced time frame for court processes and the welfare of inmates. We support correctional facilities in upgrading the system to a conducive one that aids the reintegration of inmates and prison de-congestion. We equally offer pro-bono and psycho-social support services.
We are consistently working with all stakeholders to ensure synergy between all responsible agencies/actors in the criminal justice sector. The initiative is a five years self-funded project and we currently solicit partners that will further the work that we do.
Accelerating Justice Reform in Nigeria Project (AJURN)
After several meetings with Hope Behind Bars Africa, with the last being held on January 10th 2023, The Accelerating Criminal Justice Reform in Nigeria Project was born.
The Accelerating Justice Reform in Nigeria Project (AJURN) is a project implemented by Legend Golden Care Foundation and Hope Behind Bars Africa, two Non-Governmental Organizations, dedicated to championing criminal justice reforms in Nigeria. The project seeks to advance access to justice for indigent pre-trial detainees by deploying pro-bono lawyers, promoting the implementation of diversionary measures, and collaborating with key Government agencies and other stakeholders to decongest the custodial centres.
