Nigeria (Afrika)
2.285 zum Tode Verurteilte befanden sich Amnesty International zufolge im Jahr 2017 in nigerianischen Todestrakten und dies unter grausamsten
Bedingungen.
Die Gefängnisse und Haftbedingungen in nigerianischen Todestrakten gleichen mittel-alterlichen Kerkern und erinnern an die Zeiten der Sklaverei: Bis zu zehn Insassen teilen sich fensterlose Zellen, die nicht größer als 2 x 3 Meter sind und weder Betten noch Toiletten haben.

Slavery Days are gone
by Arthur Judah Angel
Slavery Days are gone
Slavery Days are here
Man who’s not being tried
What things does he know
The wind is rough
When no wind is no friend
Sure the storm is here raging
The tempest rumbles troubled bad
It’s night twenty four hours
Our carbine a sleeping train
Death row what a hell it was
The balcony the hangman’s highway
Good friends we met
Good friends we lost
This deadly voyage what a shame
I sat in limbo such a time.
The innocent sometimes were lost
Some guilty by chance were spared
Time and chance here happen to man
And this voyage of ours rolls on
