Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities at the Ankaful Prisons in the Central Region have reiterated calls on government to raise the current feeding rate ofGH\u00a21.80 to enable them to feed the inmates adequately. <\/b><\/p>\n

They maintained that the daily feeding rate of GH\u00a21.80 per prisoner, was woefully inadequate and needed to be increased urgently to mitigate the challenge of food scarcity in the prison.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Daniel Eghan, Officer in Charge of Paralegal, describing feeding as their biggest challenge, told that even though the inmates ate three times daily, the meals were not sufficient.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we always count on the benevolence of the public to assist the prisons\u2019 authority in terms of catering to see to the welfare of the inmates,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat can GH\u00a21.80 per prisoner buy? We are pleading with the government to increase the money for feeding for them to be properly fed,\u201d he appealed.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Eghan also mentioned the challenge of inadequate medical supplies and the lack of logistics at their clinics to cater for sick prisoners.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, appealed to the government, organisations, and benevolent members of the public for support including beds, mattresses, and drugs to help their cause.<\/p>\n

He intimated that the Ankaful Maximum Security Prison, the biggest prison in Ghana, had a population of 1,424 inmates, 576 shy of its capacity and, therefore, had no problem with congestion.<\/p>\n

However, he noted, the prison had not been filled to capacity because they did not have enough staff to guarantee full security.<\/p>\n
