@Kwaku Tee, I agree - our justice system needs reforms, so that "minor crimes" like this can be dealt with in a better way than sending perpetrators to prison alongside hardened criminals. However, I welcome all these strict rules in our prisons. Here in the West, all the serious crimes that are committed in communities (majority of them) are orchestrated from behind bars - because of all these human rights bullshit.

Somebody should tell the thiefman his complaints are unjustified. There are rules when you join the Police or Army. Because they were not properly brought up, they find putting food on a table to eat unbearable. What is wrong with informing the Officer on Duty that you want to use the toilet? Kwasia, don’t you know illegal deeds happen inside prisons? I hope they punish you severely for coming to tell this nonsense to the public.

As long as you have food, clothing to wear, a place to sleep and a toilet to use, follow the rules, do your time, and learn from your prison hardship quietly.

Per what i have heard from a released prisoner, Harden CRIMINALS have teams outside who contribute and send to them in prison through agents who came fresh from prison. If you want to call home , cell leaders will do that for you at a cost . They have phones in prisons. Some officers know those among them that have phones.

If income stops suddenly, what practical skill do most people actually have? One thing that keeps paying daily — even in hard times — is smartphone repair & accessories. Phones break every day. People fix them immediately. Cash changes hands fast. This isn’t motivation talk ***

It’s a practical skill many unemployed and working people are quietly learning now — especially to support siblings, relatives, or community youth. A simple guide by Chukky Oparandu that breaks it down clearly: how beginners start, how repairs + flashing + accessories work, and how it can even lead into IT careers.***

No big capital needed. Some people are buying copies just to empower others this season instead of giving gifts that finish ***

If you’re planning ahead for 2026, it’s worth a look. You can search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or check selar.co/m/chukky (there’s even a French edition). Just sharing what many are quietly using to prepare***

Were you expecting free movements in prison? Prisons are places where everything you do is restricted. Next time, when you come out, DON’T STEAL EVEN A PENCIL FROM AN ACCIDENT SCENE.

What were they expecting in prison? Inability to follow rules in this world sends you to prison. Don't steal. Don't be in possession of illicit drugs. Don't strike another person unless in self-defence. Plenty rules. From the moment we wake up in the morning till we go to bed, we are unconsciously following rules. So when I hear people say the rules, I know they may be ending up in prison during their lifetime.

All those rules have a reason. Prison officers are dealing with criminals, though not all in prison are criminals, but majority. Hence, these rules are meant to check them and monitor them because the least chance, some will break jail.
Keep quiet and endure. 6months is too small. When you come out, you would not want to go there again.

I still don't hear remorse, so I have no sympathy for the thieves. I am only sad that common decency and manners comes as a shock to them. Hopefully they will learn in prison what they did not learn at home.
