Female prisoners are abandoned by their families than male prisoners

A Nigerian Twitter user has raised an alarm of female prisoners being abandoned by their families than male inmates. 

@eketiette who made the claim after visiting the female section of some Nigerian prisons, said she was struck by the ratio of female visitors who were there for the male inmates to the men who were there to see the women.

She further revealed that some of the female prisoners give birth in jail and live there with their kids.
