Ghana: CSOs hold talks with Former President Mahama on prison conditions improvement

The Crime Check Foundation (CCF), along with other civil society groups, including Amnesty International, have met former President John Dramani Mahama to discuss ways of improving conditions in Ghana’s prisons, where overcrowding is a big challenge.

Two other civil society organisations (CSOs), the POS Foundation and the Legal Resources Centre, also took part in the discussions, which emphasised the passage of the non-custodial sentencing bill into law to decongest the country’s prisons.
