ABSTRACT
This paper examined the need for programme planning in adult inmates’ correctional education for sustainable community development in Nigeria. The paper also, made a conceptual clarifications of various terms attached to it. It also concluded that when Adult inmates acquire education while under incarceration, they are empowered for the future. Therefore, we should bear in mind that education is not restricted to crime free individuals but also an opportunity given to adult inmates to acquire knowledge for self reliance after their jail terms. The paper finally suggests that all hands should be on deck to see to the total success of the Nigeria Correctional Service towards successful implementation of Correctional Education programme for actualisation of sustainable community development goal in the country.
