Cases of sodomy are very rampant in most prison facilities, where strong inmates forcibly have anal sex with the weaker ones.

“There are some instances whereby some of the inmates try in vain to have anal sex in the prisons. In all those instances, the suspects are spotted on time by their angry colleagues who unleash mayhem on them,” Supt Nuwordu told the media.
He was, however, quick to add that the Kumasi Central Prisons frowns on sodomy.
As a result, they have implemented strategies to fight it, he said.
According to him, an anti-sodomy team, which is made up of prisoners, had been formed to stop the practice.
