Prophet urges end to stigma against ex-convicts

The Founder and Leader of Christ Power for All Nations Ministry, Prophet Bright Brampah, has called on Ghanaians to stop stigmatising ex-convicts, stressing the need for compassion and support for inmates both during and after incarceration.
Speaking during a special outreach programme at the Ho Central Prison, Prophet Brampah noted that many discharged inmates feel abandoned and rejected by society, with little to no support for reintegration.
"Most of them return to a world that has forgotten them. No one checks on their welfare, not even for food or basic needs," he lamented.
"We must understand that the government cannot do it alone, especially when it only allocates GHC 1.80 per day for feeding each inmate—clearly not enough to ensure proper nutrition."
As part of its social responsibility initiatives, the Christ Power for All Nations Ministry organised a full-day feeding programme for over 300 inmates at the Ho Central Prison, offering both physical nourishment and spiritual support.
Prophet Brampah used the occasion to appeal to the government to review the GHC 1.80 daily feeding allowance, and further urged churches, individuals, and corporate bodies to extend love and care to inmates, helping them feel valued and accepted.
Meanwhile, Chief Officer David Apusiga of the Ghana Prisons Service expressed appreciation on behalf of the facility, commending the church for lifting the burden of feeding from them, even if for a day.
"We are extremely grateful to Christ Power for All Nations Ministry for this gesture. It means a lot to the inmates and to us as officers," he said. "We continue to appeal to others—churches, individuals, and institutions—to support our efforts in caring for and reforming those in our custody."
