Fifteen inmates at the Koforidua Prisons have been granted bail. This decision came after an in-prison court hearing on Wednesday, March 4.
The Justice For All Programme organized the court session. This initiative helps address issues of prolonged pre-trial detention.
The programme allows judicial officers to visit prisons. They review cases and grant bail where appropriate.
This action helps reduce overcrowding in prisons. It also ensures that individuals awaiting trial are given fair consideration.
The specific offenses of the inmates were not detailed.
The Judicial Service oversees the Justice For All Programme.
The bail granted means the inmates will be released pending further court proceedings.
This is part of ongoing efforts to reform the justice system.
