The Justice for All Programme in Ghana has achieved a significant reduction in the number of people held in jail while waiting for their court cases.
Justice Afia Serwaa Asare Botwe stated that the remand population has fallen from 30.57% to 12.81%.
This effort helps to reduce overcrowding in Ghana's prisons.
It also aims to speed up the justice process for those awaiting trial.
The Judicial Service implements this important programme.
The reduction means more people are either being tried or have had their cases resolved.
This contributes to a fairer and more efficient justice system.
