The UK’s Ministry of Justice and His Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) have lauded Crime Check Foundation (CCF) for the deep insights it shared with them on prison systems in Ghana.
This follows a meeting with key officials of the UK’s Justice Ministry and HMPPS with CCF to tap into the Foundation’s expertise on the rehabilitation and reformation mandate of the prisons.
The foreign institutions sought advice from Crime Check Foundation on the intended repatriation of 80 Ghanaian-UK prisoners.
During the meeting, the Executive Director of Crime Check Foundation wooed the officials to invest in expanding prison facilities in the country to make it welcoming for the impending deportee inmates. He said this while throwing light on the challenges and the reformation potential of Ghana prisons.
In a letter delivered through the British High Commission of Ghana, the two institutions appreciated CCF’s effort in contributing to prison reform and acknowledged its broad knowledge in the area.
“Your insights and expertise provided fundamental and sound perspectives into the prison system in Ghana. The challenges you highlighted shed light on important issues within the prison system, and your achievements showcased the positive impact your Foundation is making in this space,” read the letter signed by the First Secretary Upstream Threats Team of the Commission, Felix Wood.
The letter ended with gratitude to the Foundation for its commitment to the course of making a change in society.
“I want to express my gratitude once again for your time, expertise, and commitment to making a difference.”
The UK Ministry of Justice and the HMPPS conferred with Crime Check Foundation separately.
