The recent prison breaks have led to heightened fears of members of the public over their safety and the effectiveness of the prison systems in the country.<\/p>\n

However, the Deputy Interior Minister James Agalga has assured the public that the Ministry is working with the police to find solutions to curb this recent menace.<\/p>\n

“When suspects break from jail, definitely the ministry will be worried but I want to assure Ghanaians that the Ministry is working very closely with the police administration to find a lasting solution to this problem of jail break,” he told Citi News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As a Ministry we have put in place measures and with those measures, with the support of Ghanaians if we eventually pass the much-anticipated legislation on non-custodial measures, we may not need to keep people behind bars,” he added.<\/p>\n

Recent cell breaks not a sign of armageddon<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Police Public Affairs Director Superintendent Cephas Arthur in an interview with Citi News <\/strong>sought to calm the public’s fears stating that it will be needless for Ghanaians to worry about the recent cell breaks since the occurence is not new.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0noted\u00a0that there is no reason for Ghanaians to \u201cthrow their hands in the air and cry Armageddon\u201d since the phenomenon might never be eradicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing is going wrong. This is trivial escape. Trivial escape has been with us since time immemorial. This is a phenomenon that has plagued the world and we may never be able to eradicate it, just manage it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
