These inmates have successfully been re-integrated into society.

ADP Anaman was transferred to the Awutu Camp Prison as Office-In-Charge of the facility in 2015 after serving in various capacities at other prisons.

“You have distinguished yourself by contributing immensely to the mandate of the Ghana Prisons Service. With people like you, the Prisons Service could confidently boast of a bright future,” other portions of the citation said.

This is evident in the improved meal provided for the prisoners and the expansion of workshops to ease the training of inmates in various skills.
