The Ghana Prisons Service has commissioned a new bakery and workshop at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison. This development aims to enhance the rehabilitation of inmates.
Director-General Patience Baffoe-Bonnie highlighted the importance of these facilities. She stated that they are central to the Service's mandate.
The initiative is part of the "Think Prisons Ghana 360" program. This program focuses on a comprehensive approach to inmate reform.
The new bakery will provide vocational training in baking. Inmates will learn skills that can help them reintegrate into society after release.
Similarly, the workshop will offer training in various trades. This will equip them with practical abilities for future employment.
The Nsawam facility is a key location for the Prisons Service's reform efforts. These new additions are expected to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs.
The Ghana Prisons Service is committed to reducing recidivism. Providing skills and opportunities is a core part of this strategy.
