President John Dramani Mahama has reportedly approved an increase in the daily feeding allowance for inmates in Ghanaian prisons.
According to the Director General of the Ghana Prisons Service, Patience Baffoe-Bonnie, the prisoners were previously fed on GH₵ 1.80 a day but would now be fed on GH₵ 5.00 daily.
She reportedly told the facility's committee that the old fee was inadequate to allow for the proper feeding of prisoners, which led to other problems.
“Once the feeding is wrong, it has ripple effects on health and every other thing; we are working assiduously to ensure the rules change. We are hopeful the GH₵5.00 a day will be increased in the course of 2026 to reflect the feeding regime for a disgruntled adult, an angry adult behind bars,” she said.
