The British High Commission as part of an ongoing Capacity Building Project for the Ghana Prisons Service organised a four-day training workshop on paralegal skills and criminal law for 60 officers.

This training highlights the Commission’s commitment to increasing support for an improved justice system in Ghana.

It is aimed at equipping the Prisons officers with relevant legal knowledge on local and international human rights laws; basic criminal law principles to enable participants to understand ethical issues associated with paralegal duties and to enhance skills in taking instructions from prisoners regarding completion of criminal appeal documents.

Drawn from various stations across the 43 prison estates in the country, 60 officers of the Ghana Prisons Service were trained in two batches.
