SCC, Zonda Tec discuss partnership to train inmates in auto-mechanic, ‘Think Prisons 360°’ initiative

THE Senior Correctional Centre (SCC), Accra has called on the leadership of Zonda Tec to discuss the training of juveniles in acquiring modern auto-mechanic skills and the ‘Think Prisons 360°’ initiative.

The SCC team led by Deputy Director of Prisons, DDP Yayra Ashong Mettle, included Senior Officers at SCC- Deputy Superintendent of Prisons DSP James Akolbire and Assistant Superintendent of Prisons ASP Alfred Nii Arday Ankrah.

The call was to foster collaborative measures to fulfil the Think Prisons 360° Agenda and also modernise the Mechanic shop situated at the SCC where juveniles at the facility receive hands-on training in auto mechanics.

DDP Ashong Mettle said the training would help the juveniles at station to have viable skills in auto mechanics to achieve the Ghana Prisons Service mandate of reformation and rehabilitation.

Highlighting on the ‘Think Prisons 360°’ initiative, DDP Ashong Mettle indicated that it was a strategic transformative agenda to reposition the service as a world class, humane and development-oriented institution with five core pillars including the Welfare of Staff and Inmates, Agriculture Mechanisation, Industrialisation, Business and Wealth Creation and Strategic relations.

Mr Leon Leon, the Branch Manager of Zonda Tec at Dzorwulu, was overwhelmed with the visit by the SCC and expressed the institution’s commitment to train the youth in Ghana to acquire modern auto-mechanic skills.

Making a remark on behalf of Madam Yang Yang, the Chief Executive Officer of Zonda Tec Ghana, he indicated that Zonda would discuss the collaboration for implementation.
