His Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) under the UK Ministry of Justice have acknowledged Crime Check Foundation’s work in the prisons with a plaque.
Top-level officials from HM Prisons and Probation Service presented a plaque to recognize CCF’s contribution to the rehabilitation and reformation of prisoners in Ghana.
The HMPPS, like the Ghana Prisons Service, carries out sentences given by courts, in custody, and the community, and rehabilitates people through education and employment.
The key officials presented the plaque to the Executive Director of CCF, Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng when they met a team from the organization to tap into its wealth of knowledge on prison administration in Ghana.
The UK officials applauded the Foundation for its work in the prisons.
The meeting with CCF was borne out of the UK’s decision to repatriate some Ghanaian prisoners in Britain to Ghana.
Following its recognition internationally, Crime Check Foundation is expecting a second cohort of volunteers from the UK to learn about Ghana’s prison system under its supervision.
