Prisoners to Work in Farms to Support Agriculture Sector - Ibrahim Traoré
Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 Introduces Groundbreaking Prison Reform!
"Henceforth our prisoners will be working in our Agriculture sector while their sentences are reduced, our laws must represent African values" - Ibrahim Traoré
According to the new criminal law in Burkina Faso, prisoners and those awaiting sentences can work in agriculture, with a month of work equivalent to a three-month reduction in sentence.
A month of work equals 3 months off their sentence! This innovative approach prioritizes rehabilitation, agricultural development, and restorative justice.
