This project was submitted at the West Africa Project Fair Nsawam Medium Security Prison is thirty six kilometers north of Accra. It is the responsibility of the Central Government to provide equipment for skills training of the convicts and yet like almost all correctional institutions the Government is not adequately resourced to provide equipment for skills training.
Nsawam medium security prison houses both male and female prisoners. The purpose of skills training programme in the area of sewing, weaving, and photography is to provide convicts with skills to equip them to become lawful citizens. The success of the rehabilitation programme will reduce the percentage of convicts that are rearrested for crimes after they are released from prison.
Most people are driven to crime as a result of poverty which may be attributed to lack of life skills to enable decent living to be earned. The project aims at equipping 500 inmates annually with skills in the area of dressmaking, weaving and photography that will earn them decent livelihoods outside the prison walls and pull them away from crime.
$15,000 will be used for photography dark room equipment, $5,000 for weaving machines, and $5,000 for sewing machines. |
