Abstract

Nigeria is of strategic significance to Africa and the world at large given her abundant bounties of nature. In view of this, Nigeria ought to be one of the world leading economies and developmental strides. However, Nigeria is still entrapped in a web of social problems and/or vices such as drug trafficking. Drug trafficking has an adverse effect on human survival. It is an outlawed trade, where drugs that are prohibited under the law are made available for general consumption. The incidence of drug trafficking and its costly negative outcomes on people and the society at large calls for efforts to stem it if not eradicate it totally. One viable instrument to do so is through correctional facilities and re-integration process. Correction is essential for inmates. They need to be rehabilitated. Therefore this paper looked into drug trafficking: relevance of correctional facilities and the re-integration process.
