Officials of the Juvenile Correctional Centre also known as the Borstal Institute have bemoaned the neglect of the inmates by their relatives. Juveniles who fall foul of the law are expected to be reformed at the centre while serving their sentences. Officials at the Centre however say relatives of the inmates often fail to give them the necessary support to enable them integrate into society. Alhassan Lasibo, Regional Commander of the Ghana Prisons Service said the situation has become deplorable. “We were basically doing skills training but we have now added the formal education where those who can write the BECE are taken and prepared to write the BECE. And if they qualify they have to enter the Senior High School. "Unfortunately most of these boys are just from the streets so if you are able to prepare them to enter the secondary school and we don’t get people to help them to go then we have wasted their time and our time,” he said. Meanwhile, Child’s Rights NGO Plan Ghana has donated items worth forty thousand Cedis for the upkeep of the inmates of the Borstal Institute. Source: Joy News/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
