The number of people held on remand in Ghana has fallen significantly. This is thanks to the Justice for All Programme.
Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botwe stated that the remand population has been cut from 30.57% to 12.81%.
This programme aims to speed up justice for those awaiting trial. It also helps to reduce overcrowding in Ghana's prisons.
Fewer people on remand means prisons have more space. This can lead to better conditions for all inmates.
The Judicial Service oversees efforts to ensure timely justice.
This reduction helps the justice system function more efficiently.
