A Ghanaian prison officer has revealed the harsh conditions inmates face due to the extremely low budget allocated for their feeding.

In a video shared on X on May 25, 2025, the unidentified officer disclosed that each meal served to prisoners costs less than one Ghana cedi.

He explained that a single meal costs just 60 pesewas, amounting to GH¢1.80 per day for three meals. "We feed them with GH¢1.80 a day.

In the morning, we give them food that costs 60 pesewas.
