Abstract:
Abstract Several prison inmates in Nigeria have several other talents that can actually make them more useful to their society than crimes. These talents, latent, always beg for exploration.They must not continue to be caged even as the owner is in cage. This is one fundamental reason the Nigerian Prison Service explores several reintegration/acquisition programmes to offer inmates various rehabilitation opportunities, including education, vocational training and motivational talks programmes to reduce crime rates and or recidivism (the number of inmates who reoffend after they are released from prison). However, the therapeutic and reformative drama education has not been adequately explored in this part of the world. While some of these programmes have achieved some results, there seems to be some lacuna in the proposed aim. This is why the study sets to identify with these victims of circumstances and the Nigerian Correctional,(Prisons) Service to offer drama education services to x-ray the capacity at which drama can rediscover, rehabilitate and re-reconcile young prisoners to the society for optimum usefulness, with Okitipupa Correctional Centre, in the South Senatorial district of Ondo State, Nigeria, as a case study. Keywords: Drama/Theatre Education, Therapeutic and Correctional Tools, Inmates, Causality, Effect, resolution.
