Sekondi Female Prisons ‘begs’ for tools for training inmates

 The Sekondi Female Prisons is in dire need of teaching and learning materials to train inmates in profitable ventures.

The training of every inmate was critical in the reformation and rehabilitation mandate to ensure that inmates had em­ployable skills, to enable them to come out as improved and better individuals to reduce crime rates in communities.

CSP Judith Abbiw, the Second in Command of the Sekondi Female Prisons, however be­moaned the absence of modern and durable logistics to carry out such mandate.

She said, the government apprenticeship programme and other TVET initiatives must take into consideration the needs of these reformative institutions to enable them to make the needed impact in the lives of the inmates.

CSP Abbiw, therefore called on benevolent institutions and companies to engage them to know the specific logistical needs that the service needed to deliver training to the in­mates.

According to her, the female inmates are trained in beads making, weaving, hairdressing, dressmaking and décor among others. -GNA
