Human computer interaction for development (HCI4D): implementing reformation/design opportunities for support and care coordination in Nigerian prisons

Abstract

The paper highlights opportunities for Human Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D) in a Prisons context. Firstly, it explored video education as complement for reformative and rehabilitative programmes in Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS). Secondly, it presents the results of a preliminary user study for the development of a mobile collaborative application used in supporting and caring for prison inmates. We hope that an underrepresented and under-resourced institution such as NPS that holds the rejected of the society can benefit from HCI technology and approaches.
