Thanks Mr. Fabayo Azore, I am pleased to see others are sharing the same idea I am sharing it will do these guys no good to imprison them with other harden prisoners for minor offence of 1- 5 grams ganja fine then and fix community service will help both the perpetrator and the state coffers. what would be good is to develop a work program to train such and have volunteers come in and teach them skills in carpentry, masonry etc. Or even help in cleaning and fixing up a few places.
