The Ghana Prisons Service says it is taking all necessary steps to address issues confronting the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons.<\/p>\n
An unannounced search conducted at the Nsawam Prison on 15th April, 2011, led to the seizure of a number of prohibited items from inmates.<\/p>\n
Acting Director General of the Prisons Service, Kofi Bansah has told Asempa News his outfit was investigating the unprofessional conduct of some officers at the Nsawam Prisons.<\/p>\n
Mr. Bansah said anyone found culpable irrespective of their ranks and positions, would be dealt with according to the law.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me sound a note of caution to all officers, that my administration will not countenance any form of indiscipline on the part of any officer. We have come a long way and therefore will not allow a few officers to draw us backwards through indisciplined acts,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n
Addressing a staff durbar at the Prisons Headquarters in Accra Wednesday, Mr. Bansah was worried at the manner in which inmates were packed in cells countrywide, leading to overcrowding.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Mr. Bansah has stated that the Service was yet to meet the Electoral Commission on the issue of whether inmates would be allowed to participate in elections in Ghana.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the inmates are happy at least for once they have been recognized as people who can exercise their franchise to vote,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
