President John Dramani Mahama has assured of his government's commitment to undertake alternative measures to ease the pressure and resolve over burden in Ghana's prisons.
He said prisons were a place of reform and not punishment and that the management of the prison service must embark on that agenda.
Swearing in the new Director-General of the Ghana Prisons Service, DGP 3 Mrs Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, at the Presidency, Accra, on Monday, President Mahama said the new DG and her team have the onerous task to turn the prisons into transformative centres.
