Ghana raises prison meal cost to GH¢5 daily, first change in 15 years, to improve nutrition and prevent unrest.
Ghana has raised the daily prison feeding fee from GH¢1.80 to GH¢5, the first change in 15 years, approved on September 30, 2025, and set for inclusion in the 2026 budget.
The move, driven by concerns over inadequate nutrition, inmate unrest, and health risks, follows years of relying on prison gardens, fish ponds, and church donations to supplement meals.
GH¢10 million has been allocated for the final quarter of 2025, with officials seeking further increases in 2026 to meet international standards.
