    Abstract
    The purpose of conducting this study was to assess the influence of training prison officers on observation of human rights of prisoners while using a case study of Kampala Remand Prison. Specifically, the researcher wanted to establish whether in-service training of prison staffs, leadership development training of prison staff and specialized training have an influence on observation of human rights of prisoners in Kampala Remand Prison. The study was done using a cross sectional research design while considering both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Particularly, interview guide and documentary review was used as the qualitative tool and a questionnaire was adopted the quantitative instrument. The study therefore found out that in-service training of prison staffs has a positive influence on observation of human rights of prisoners in Kampala Remand Prison (r=0.699); leadership development training of prison staff has a positive influence on observation of human rights of prisoners in Kampala Remand Prison (r=0.718) and there is a positive influence of specialized training on observation of human rights of prisoners in Kampala Remand Prison (r=0.668). Therefore, it was concluded that training prison staffs positively influences observation of human rights of prisoners in Kampala Remand Prison. In light to the above conclusions, it was recommended that there is a need to strengthen the leadership (both Board of Directors/Management Committees and management) through training, coaching and mentoring, if observation of human rights of prisoners in Kampala Remand Prison is to be realized.
