A legal expert named Ishaq Ibrahim is asking Ghana to change its prisons. He says prisons should focus on helping people get better.
Ibrahim believes inmates should learn new skills while they are in prison. This training can help them find jobs when they are released.
He also said that sentences should be fair. Long sentences for small crimes might not be the best way to help people not offend again.
The goal of these changes is to lower the number of people who go back to prison after being let out.
This approach focuses on making prisons more about fixing problems than just punishment.
Ibrahim explained that when people learn new skills and feel treated fairly, they are more likely to become good members of society.
Making these changes could lead to fewer crimes in the long run.
A better prison system can help everyone in Ghana feel safer.
