议会已通过《2026年社区服务法案》，引入社区服务作为监禁刑罚的替代方案。\n\n内政部长Al Alhaji Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak于周三动议进行该法案的第三读后，法案获得通过。\n\n该法案确立了行政架构，包括国家社区服务秘书处，并规定建立电子案件跟踪和考勤系统以监督合规情况。\n\nAlhaji Mohammed-Mubarak根据1992年《宪法》第106条第1款于今年3月首次将该法案提交议会进行一读，在提交议会国防和内政委员会审议并向议会提交报告后，于5月进入二读程序。\n\n在议员们投票通过该委员会的报告之前，各方对该报告进行了辩论。\n\n报告显示，加纳的刑事司法系统传统上严重依赖监禁作为对罪犯的主要惩罚形式，这种做法导致了监狱长期过度拥挤。\n\n报告指出，这种情况给加纳监狱管理局造成了沉重负担，同时也增加了政府在囚犯维护、医疗、伙食和监狱基础设施方面的支出。

Parliament has passed the Community Service Bill, 2026 to introduce community service as an alternative to custodial sentences.

The bill was passed after the Minister for the Interior, Alhaji Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, moved the motion for its third reading on Wednesday.

It establishes administrative structures, including the National Community Service Secretariat, and provides for an electronic case-tracking and attendance system to monitor compliance.

The bill was first laid before Parliament by Alhaji Mohammed-Mubarak in March this year for its first reading, in line with Article 106 (1) of the 1992 Constitution and advanced to the second reading in May after being referred to Parliament's Committee on Defence and Interior for consideration and a report to the House.

The committee's report was debated before legislators voted to adopt it.

According to the report, Ghana's criminal justice system has traditionally relied heavily on custodial sentences as the primary form of punishment for convicted persons, a practice that has contributed to persistent prison overcrowding.

It noted that the situation has placed considerable strain on the Ghana Prison Service while increasing government expenditure on inmate maintenance, healthcare, feeding and prison infrastructure.
