It is no secret that there are no scanners in the various prisons here in Ghana. As trivial as this may sound, it is a very disturbing situation that can lead to many health problems if not dealt with properly.
In a video sighted on Facebook, prison officers were seen vigorously searching through food items that were brought to inmates by families and friends with their bare hands and other unsterilized instruments.
This they do in an attempt to make sure no harmful food items or substances are smuggled into the prison yards. However, their way of doing these checks appears to be posing more health risks to the inmates instead.
This has been the situation for many years and has almost become accepted as the normal way of doing these checks but should that be the case?
Well, many people have shared their views on the matter and it’s evident that the general public is unhappy about the situation.
