Abstract

Information Technology (IT) has cut across all the areas of our society. In the light of this, I studied the Management Information System for Nigerian Prisons Service, Afara, Umuahia, Abia State with the aim of developing a software that can maintain an up-to-date record ofinmates as well as rendering quick and efficient services to the prisoners and also aid the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) with a database of records for their investigations as concerns ex-convicts. Bearing in mind that the management of most prisons in Nigeria is currently done manually. This manual process of managing the prisons records and procedures makes every available document prone to damage or theft. This project took time to go into relevant details within the scope and time frame to try and proffer quick and very affordable solution to this issue. Thisproject was done using basic Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) for visible web contents, javascript, Asp.Net for server scripting and MySQL database was used tostore and manage the prisoners records. The project was implemented successfullyand the result obtained provides a single management systemwhich integrates all the relevant information about a prisoner, staff and other implementable modules in a singleproject. It can easily be accessed by the NPF to get relevant details in cases that concerns ex-convicts or even prison officials. Amadi Christopher C | Aguodoh P.
