The Ghana Prisons Service Council has rolled out an appeal for Fund for its Prison Reform program dubbed ‘Project Efiase’ which seeks to address the concerns of the Ghana Prisons Service especially Prison and Borstal inmates in all the Prisons stations across the country.
The Appeal for Fund which comes with the Akan phrase ‘kitiwa bia nsua’ literally means every penny counts is a way the Council is using to raise money for its 10 year strategic plan for the reforms of the Correctional centers in the Country.
Decongestion of the various Prisons stations, and the need for other logistics for the Prisons Service.
The sixth Prisons Council has so far met most Ambassadors and High Commissioners in a bid to lay down their 10 year strategic plan which cannot be solely supported by the Government of Ghana.
The current Chairperson for the Council, Rev Dr. Stephen Y. Wengham with his team needs to be supported to make our correctional centers a home for change not a den to prepare society misfits.
