Inmates of the Kumasi Central prisons are being subjected to horrendous treatment by prison officials after the suspected jail break which led to the death of one immate and left several officers injured.
Investigations revealed inmates are compelled to reject their food and go hungry instead due to the bad nature of the food and continuous deteriorating prison conditions.
“Food served us are so bad that we oftern reject them and go hungry” some starving prisoners told our team of investigators.
Condition of the cells and medical services in the Kumasi prisons are extremely appalling.
The correctional facility has one medical officer to respond to distress calls of sick inmates. Once prisoners are locked in, warders do not respond to their cries, investigators gathered.
Interior minister, Mark Woyongo revealed during a visit to Kumasi Central Prison it is becoming difficult for the government to feed prisoners across the country.
