According to them, the government of Ghana feeds each inmates in Ghana's prisons with GH¢ 1.80 pesewas per head on daily basis which they described as woefully inadequate.

The Public Relations Officer at the Sekondi prisons, DSP Netser Adjettey told newsmen in an interview that the inmates were complaining of poor quality food served them and over-crowding in their cells.
DSP Adjetey, therefore, called on families and other organizations to support the inmates in cash and kind to augment that of the government.
