UNODC commissions bakery and vocational training facilities at Nsawam Medium Security Prison

She said the Service had introduced several initiatives to improve the welfare of both inmates and prison officers, noting that the newly commissioned bakery, kente weaving, doormat weaving and electrical workshops would play a vital role in enhancing vocational training, rehabilitation and the reintegration of inmates into society.

Speaking at the event, the UNODC Project Coordinator, Mr Christophe Campbell, said the project began three years ago with the training of officers of the Ghana Prisons Service on the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, widely known as the Nelson Mandela Rules.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), in partnership with the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the United States government, has commissioned a bakery and vocational training facilities at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison following the successful completion of a three-year rehabilitation project.
