President John Dramani Mahama has reportedly approved an increase in the daily feeding allowance for inmates in Ghanaian prisons.<\/p>\n
According to the Director General of the Ghana Prisons Service, Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, the prisoners were previously fed on GH\u20b5 1.80 a day but would now be fed on GH\u20b5 5.00 daily.<\/p>\n
She told the Committee that the old fee was inadequate to allow for the proper feeding of prisoners, which led to other problems.<\/p>\n
\n \u201cOnce the feeding is wrong, it has ripple effects on health and every other thing; we are working assiduously to ensure the rules change. We are hopeful the GH\u00a25 a day will be increased in the course of 2026 to reflect the feeding regime for a disgruntled adult, an angry adult behind bars,\u201d she said.\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
