President Muhammadu Buhari on wednesday assented to the Nigeria Correctional Services Bill which repeals the name of Nigerian Prisons Service to Nigeria Correctional Service.
Senator Ita Enang, Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters, told journalists that the Nigeria Correctional Service is made up of two faculties: the Custodial and Non- Custodial Service.
He reiterated that the non-custodial is intended for reformation allowing for community services as punishment so not every offence would attract a prison sentence.
