James Camp Prison Marks Day With Inmates

A scene from a drama presentation on the effects of tramadol on society.

Management and staff of the James Camp Prison on Tuesday, September 25, held an interactive session with inmates of the facility.

The get-together took place on the premises of the prison at Roman Ridge in Accra.

It formed part of a week-long celebration to mark the 70th anniversary of the prison, which was established in 1948 during the colonial era.

The ceremony was characterized by interesting activities, including a talent show by the inmates who were greatly excited and danced their hearts out.

They also displayed an excellent drama which centered on love and the effects of Tramadol in Ghana.

A former inmate of the facility, Eric Nyarko, who is now a pastor, delivered a brief sermon.

Pastor Nyarko encouraged the inmates not underestimate their potentials.

He counseled them not to feel marginalized by the world but believe in themselves and come to terms with who they truly are, adding that they should use their time to learn some vocation since it would be instrumental after they leave the prison.

Renowned playwright and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Roverman Productions, James Ebo Whyte, popularly known as Uncle Ebo Whyte, on his part, encouraged them to have a good perspective of their lives and look up to God for a better future.

He said the grace of God was sufficient for them and that there is hope for everyone.

The playwright further advised the inmates to love unconditionally and not harbour any ill-feelings against anyone.

Uncle Ebo Whyte commended the staff and officers of the facility for their good works and wished them well in their future endeavors.
