There is no doubt in mind that Ghana is a third world country that is on the brink. The reason why there is so much corruption is that the prisons are viewed as a place where people go and die or where people return and die. The condition in the prisons in Ghana is inhumane and inhospitable. Relatives of criminals will do whatever they could to prevent their loved one from being sent to prison because being sent to prison in Ghana is more or less a death sentence. This phenomenon has contributed to judges not being strict with regard to sentencing. In addition, the inhospitable nature of the prisons in Ghana has contributed to judges being very corrupt. Desperate relatives are willing to pay bribe to judges so as to avoid the "death sentence" for their relatives. In Ghana people go to prison, and they don't return. They die. Or they return very sick. In Ghana prisoners do not have access to basic health care. Think of it, if ordinary people who are not in prison are struggling to have access to basic health care, how do you expect prisoners to be given adequate health care? Ghana is a fucking third world country.

Useless Government and prison officials. How did those people use to feed themselves before getting into trouble?. Please build prisons in the farming community where they could work for themselves or others. The remand prisoners could be kept in the city's for Court attendance with good feeding from the prison farms.

WE HAVE SO MANY JOBS THEY CAN BE DOING ..LIKE CARPENTRY, AGRIC, ROAD CONSTRUCTION, IN NORTH AMERICA MANY PRISONERS PERFORM JBS THAT EARNS THEM SMALL WAGES. WHY CAT WE REPLICATE THAT. CONTRACT THESE PRISONERS TO PRIVATE CONTRACTORS. THE GH PRISONS GETS THE WAGES N GIVES A PORTION TO THOSE WHO WORK. THEY CAN ALSO USE THE MONIES TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, VOCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE PRISONERS. DMAN, NIGGERS ARE ALLERGIC TO THINKING...WE DONT THINK, WE DONT PLAN. EVERYTHING BUTU BUTU

Prisons Service should stop indulging in this "beggar mentality" and maximise its resources of land, labour and equipment to produce the food requirements of the prisoners.The service should be tasked to contribute to the feeding of neeedy institutions like mental homes. The time for freebies are over.The sevice must respond to changing times and make itself relevant to the needs of society.It was done in the past, why can't you do it now?

The politicians should make sure conditions improve. If Selomey, Tsatsu, etc knew they could end up there they probably would have done something about it.

A prison is not a 5 star hotel. They have to toil and sweat to feed themselves. NDC inmates will soon be fed on the same amount. Very soon they will be pleading for plasma TVs and air-conditioned cells.

Prisons in Ghana and Africa in general are hells on earth.They are not meant to reform but only to punish.How on earth can a prisoner be fed in Ghana with GHC1.80?Prisons in Ghana are overcrowded,filthy and disease-ridden.FOOD GIVEN TO THEM IS TASTELESS,NON-NUTRITIOUS AND INADEQUATE.No wonder so many prisoners are released carrying diseases they did not go there with.If the government feels that the prison population is so big for it to spend money on it should find other means of dispensing justice to criminals found guilty in the courts. Community sentences, tagging for minor offences and more financial penalties can be used to reduce prison population in the country.Sentencing guidelines should be given to judges and magistrates to reduce the number of crimes that attract custodial sentences.Serious not cosmetic prison reforms are needed in Ghana to reduce the prison population to enable the government to adequately care for prisoners.Prisoners are human beings and eventually they get released back into the society.They must not be treated as pariahs and semi-human beings.They should be well cared for in prison.The ball is in the court of the government.

Have the inmates generate their own income by having to work whilst they are in prison, better referred to as correctional facilities, the idea is not to keep them in prison permanently ,but to correct their mistakes and become a better citizens.eg, making of license plates, trade jobs like, vocational training, that way come out with a trade.I will like to donate to the project , or dedicate a portion of the prison so I can adopt and name after my family,financially I will be willing to do that if somebody reach out to me.

Dear Officer, kudos to you for your highly thoughtful suggestion! The mark of any civilised society is how well we treat our disadvantaged i.e. the Mentally and physically disabled, the sick and poor as well our incarcerated brethren. Adequate food ration and improved jail facilities closer to the prisoners home Districts or Regions should also be aspired for! Who knows, maybe, 1 District 1 Prison will be a great aim. God bless Ghana.

Treat the officers well for them to be able to take care of the prisoners. Hospital bills of Prison Officers had been stopped since 2013. Maintenance Allowances in huge arears and not likely to be paid. Poor accommodation to the extend that, Senior Officers sharing rooms with Junior officers. Officers properties damaged by rain on their varrenders. What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander. The Prison Officers should be treated well for them to be able to treat the prisoners well. The new government shouod trh and pay our hospital bills that in huge arrears.
