Department visits inmates

The inmates of the Bomana correctional facility had a fun-filled day as they received gifts in cash and kind from the Department of Community Development, Youth and Religion yesterday.

Secretary Anna Solomon, including the Department staff, visited the Bomana facility to deliver Christmas goodies for the inmates; both male and female.

With the visit having coincided with the grand finale of their in house sporting games of rugby, soccer and volleyball, secretary Solomon said she was happy to note the progress of the inmates’ rehabilitation.

Correctional Service Commissioner, Michael Waipo, thanked the Department for having spared their thoughts and time to bring gifts for the inmates, let alone paying them a visit this festive season.

Waipo also thanked the Department for being supportive in a lot of the activities that CS has been involved with.

He adds that there have been various activities that the inmates have been involved with in rehabilitating themselves throughout the course of this year; one of which he hopes will continue into the coming year.
