RUGBY FOR REFORM: CRRA Takes the Game to Ankaful Maximum Security Prison

The Central Region Rugby Association (CRRA) has engaged the leadership of the Maximum Security Prison, Ankaful, in a bid to establish a Prisons Rugby Club - using rugby as a tool for rehabilitation, discipline and talent development.

Led by CRRA Chairman Mr. Clement Dennis and PRO Mr. Peter Caesar Kwegyir Aggrey, the delegation met with DDP Joseph Asabre and DSP Philip Asomani of the Ghana Prisons Service, presenting a rugby ball as a symbolic first step toward introducing the sport within the prison environment.

The initiative also lays groundwork for a Central Region Security Services Rugby Championship, bringing together the Prisons Service, Police, Fire Service, Immigration and Armed Forces - with an eye on an eventual international edition.

🏉 "Rugby can change lives. Our vision is to use the game to build discipline, discover talent, create opportunities and bring our security services together through sport." - Clement Dennis, CRRA Chairman
