Actress and TV show host, Nana Ama McBrown has donated Ghc 10,000 for the release of prisoners.
The celebrity presented a cheque for the amount to Crime Check Foundation (CCF) to support its petty offenders project.
She handed the donation to the Executive Director of the Foundation, Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng during an invite to join her on her cooking show, ‘McBrown’s Kitchen’ together with a female ex-offender.
After an interaction with the ex-offender on the popular show, McBrown was inspired by the sad story and made the contribution to support other inmates.
The appearance of the ex-offender on the programme is to demonstrate that such persons must not be tagged and stigmatized for their past lives to enable them to integrate properly into society.
CCF will facilitate the release of prisoners serving minimal sentences who could not afford court fines imposed on them.
Through its fine-paying scheme, Crime Check Foundation helps to decongest the prisons.
The Foundation continues to advocate alternative sentencing regimes for individuals who have committed minor crimes.
