Congestion in Prisons linked to number of persons on remand

Human Rights Advocates in Ghana have attributed congestion in the country's prisons to the number of persons on remand. 

According to them, one third of the prison population are persons on remand.  

The Human Rights Advocates are therefore calling on the IGP to ensure that the CID expedite trial of prisoners on remand.

Above all, the Human Rights Advocates want a complete overhaul of the country's Judicial System to ensure “Justice For All”.
