Abstract

The study determines the influence of adult literacy education programmes on reformation and rehabilitation of correctional centre inmates in Rivers State. Four hundred and sixty-two (462) inmates and two hundred and forty (240) correctional staff were drawn from a population of four thousand eight hundred and ninety seven (4897) inmates and four hundred and eighty eight (488) correctional staff using 10% and 30% proportionate random sampling technique respectively. Data were collected by the use of structured questionnaire facilitated by four (4) trained correctional staff.Data analysis used mean, standard deviation, and z-test statistics. The study found that adult literacy programmes enable inmates to acquire reading, writing and numeracy skills. It builds self confidence among inmates, enables inmate participate effectively in other learning activities and enable inmates to communicate effectively. It was therefore recommended that the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) should engage the service of trained literacy education facilitators in order to guide inmates on acquisition of literacy skills.
