Uganda government has constructed a sh447M prison structure in Gulu to house 600 inmates.
While addressing audience at the commissioning ceremony of the structure at Central Government Prison yesterday in Gulu, assistant commissioner of prisons in charge enterprises, David Nsalasata said the project was aimed at reducing congestion in prison cells.
Nsalasata said: “Reports have indicated that inmates’ welfare was in sorry state due to overcrowding in cells. The prison structures were being constructed with funding from Justice, Law and Order sectors (JLOS) programme”.
“All of us are potential prisoners, we have to make the prison cells conducive and better polybasic requirements put in place, for a normal human being,” he added.
He said that the similar structures were being constructed in Apac, Mbarara, Nakasongola, Mpigi and Ntungamo districts.
Nsalasata cautioned prison officials against abusing the rights of prisoners. “Handle them (inmates) in a humane manner. They are here for correction and reforms, but not to be tortured or ill-treated. They can be better citizens of tomorrow”.
Resident District Commissioner, Walter Ochora urged prison staff to avoid vandalizing the hard earned structure. He said that there was need to facelift old structures including staff houses.
Ochora encouraged farmers around to learn modern methods of farming from the institution for better crop yields. He lauded the government for establishing more structures in prisons across the country.
Meanwhile, Maxwell Akora, financial specialist under Judicial Service Commission disclosed that the government will build four remand homes for juvenile offenders in the north.
Akora told a meeting held at Acholi inn in Gulu town on Monday that the four remand homes will be build in Lira for Lango region, Gulu for Acholi and Arua for west Nile sub regions.
He added that court had been releasing the juvenile offenders in the north due to lack of suitable remand homes.

Excel Pivot Table Fundamentals
I won't try and hide the fact from you that I am a big fan of Pivot Tables. I use them a lot in the development of Spreadsheets for my clients. Once the client sees the Pivot Table, they nearly always ask "could I do that?" the answer of course is yes! Unfortunately most project plan tend to shy away from Pivot Tables, as they see them as too complex. to be honest with you, when you first use a Pivot Table the whole thing can seem a bit daunting. Don't be put off by this as persistence will almost project planning certainly pay off. I find the best part about Pivot Tables is their ability to be manipulated via 'Trial-and-Error' and immediately show the result. If its' not what you expect, project planning software use the Undo feature and/or have another go! What you must always remember is that you are not changing the structure of your original table in anyway at all, so you can do no harm!
Why are they called Pivot Tables ? - Well, basically they allow us to pivot our data via project schedule to produce meaningful information. This makes Pivot Tables interactive in that once the table is complete we can very easily see what effect moving (or pivoting) our data has on our information. This will become patently clear once you give project scheduling a go. Believe me, no matter how experienced you get at Pivot Tables there will always be an element of trial-and-error involved in producing the desired results! What this means is you will find yourself pivoting your table a lot!
