A Deputy Minister of Education, Alex Kyeremeh, has bemoaned the deplorable conditions under which inmates live at the Sunyani Central Prison in the Brong Ahafo Region.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”fSWacSRUh5kru07FAsRnxS8pToAm5atN”]According to him, if opportunities are not created for the young people in prison to acquire employable skills, it will be difficult to re-integrate them back into society after they had served their sentences.<\/p>\n
Mr Kyeremeh, who is also Member of Parliament (MP) for Techiman North said this when he presented a cow, 10 bags of rice, and gallons of cooking oil to the Sunyani prison.<\/p>\n
He directed the prison officials to organize a special party for the inmates during this Christmas season.<\/p>\n
He said reformation and re-integration of ex-convicts is a shared and collective responsibility, and appealed to the public not to stigmatize prisoners, especially after their release.<\/p>\n
