GPS to make prisoners' info available for biometric registration
The Ghana Prisons Service (GPS) has set up a task
force to determine the true identities of
prisoners across the country.

This follows a three-week extension given to the
service by the Electoral Commission to enable them
register eligible prisoners in the biometric
registration exercise.

The Public Relations Officer of the GPS, ASP
Courage Atsem said the task force is expected to
complete the identification process within two
weeks.

“The task force will be moving from prison to
prison to assist the inmates in terms of how they
can get in touch with their family members to
produce their authentic identification details.
The information will be compared with our data so
that we can begin the registration progress,” he
said.

He added prisoners who were unable to provide
authentic data will not qualify for the biometric
registration.
