CDD-Ghana engages inmates of the Senior Boys Correctional Centre to mark 24th anniversary  

The Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) has donated some clinical  supplies and stationery to the Senior Boys Correctional Centre as part of activities commemorating  the 24th Anniversary of CDD-Ghana. 

In addition, the Center also engaged the students in a conversation on democracy, self empowerment, and avenues available for them to participate in nation-building once they  complete their detention.  

In 2019, CDD-Ghana adopted the Senior Boys Correctional Centre, formerly known as the Borstal  Institute for Juveniles, located at Roman Ridge in Accra and pledged to work with the  management to address its welfare needs and advocate for reforms in the juvenile justice sector.  

In his address, Dr. Kojo Asante, Director of Advocacy and Policy Engagement at CDD-Ghana,  indicated that although the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 general elections affected some  of the planning for the Correctional Centre, CDD-Ghana is committed to honouring its earlier  pledge. He said the Center would continue shining the light on the challenges with juvenile justice  in Ghana and work with stakeholders towards reforms.

He called on the Ministry of Interior and the  Attorney General’s Office to speed up the passage of the Community Sentencing Bill to provide  urgent non-custodial sentencing alternatives to young persons who come in conflict with the law.  

He urged the boys not to see their detention as the end of their lives and encouraged them to  learn from their mistakes and accept the moral lessons and skills training they are being given to  help them integrate back into society once they get out.

On their part, the boys pleaded for financial assistance from the State or benevolent institutions  and individuals to help set them up in business with the skills they are learning at the Centre.  

Presenting the items to the Centre, Dr. Asante reiterated that the twin pledge – advocating for  reforms and supporting the welfare needs of the boys – will continue to be a priority for CDD Ghana.  

“On the occasion of our 24th Anniversary, we want to show support to the boys and the Officers  here so that the mandate that you have to help them rehabilitate and go back to their families  and communities to become good citizens and help develop the country will be fulfilled. We know  that there are a lot of needs, and we will continue to work to see how we can support those  needs,” he said. 

Receiving the items on behalf of the Correctional Centre, Chief Superintendent of Prisons (CSP),  Victoria Adzewodah, thanked CDD-Ghana for the gesture and expressed gratitude to the Center  for making juvenile justice and the needs of the Centre a priority.  

She pleaded with the general public to support young people in detention at the Centre and  help them reintegrate into society once they get out to prevent them from engaging in practices  which could bring them into conflict with the law again.
