The Ghana Prison Service (GPS) has taken proactive measures in response to allegations raised by two former inmates against certain officers at the Nsawam Medium Security Prisons.
A dedicated committee has been established to thoroughly investigate these allegations.
In an official statement released by Superintendent Yaa Prempeh Sifah, the Acting Chief Public Relations Officer for GPS, it was emphatically stated that the service is fully committed to addressing these allegations with the utmost seriousness.
No officer found guilty of any misconduct will be protected, and actions inconsistent with the Service’s established rules and regulations will be met with appropriate consequences.
The statement further underscored the GPS’s commitment to upholding its integrity and reputation, emphasizing its zero tolerance for actions that could tarnish its image.
The GPS’s primary focus remains on its core responsibilities, including ensuring the secure custody of inmates, treating them humanely, supporting their reformation and rehabilitation, and facilitating their successful reintegration into society.
These efforts aim to foster responsibility, productivity, and law-abiding behavior among inmates, ultimately contributing to public safety.
