Our failure to expand existing facilities is making life unbearable for inmates confined in prison, hospitals and even senior high schools that serve as boarding houses.
Our focus is on a Kumasi prison- the facility was built to house six hundred (600) inmates but as at now, over two thousand prisoners are using the tiny facility.
This puts the health of the poorly catered for inmates at a risk. In an interview with DCOP William Ofori-Anoff, who is the Ashanti Regional Commander of Prison, he revealed that when night falls, the over packed prisoners find it extremely difficult to have a sound sleep.
Aside this, he claims the congestion has increased skin diseases and malaria among the prisoners.
Watch the poor state of how prisoners are housed in the Kumasi Prisons
