The Robertsport Central Prison in Grand Cape Mount County over the weekend received several food items for inmates.
According to the President of the National Kings-men of Liberia of the Harvest-Intercontinental Ministries, Cyrus Johnson, the food items donated to the inmates are intended to identify and share the Word of God with them.
President Johnson stated that the Kings-men are always identifying with inmates in prison facilities across the country and also sharing the Gospel with them, which is the will of God.
He explained that the Kings-men fellowship with the inmates help to restore hopes to them as they continue to serve their jail sentences in prison.
He said some of them in prison can accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and become Christians which, upon their release, can be members of the body of Christ in the society.
President Johnson indicated that at the Robertsport Central Prison the inmates were 145, male and female, but the female inmates were 13 while the male inmates were 132; however, one female inmate was freed.
He noted that she was freed by the court after spending three months in prison, accused for human trafficking.
He disclosed that the 145 inmates all accepted Jesus Christ by confessing their sins and welcoming Christ in their lives.
Meanwhile, the Superintendent of the Robertsport Central Prison in Grand Cape Mount County, Lawson P. Woah said some of the inmates do not have families members visiting them, and expressed appreciation to the Kings-men of Liberia of Harvest Inter-Continental Ministries for visiting the inmates at the prison.
Superintendent Woah stated that the food items donated will be distributed accordingly to the inmates, and hoped that other organizations would emulate the good example of the Kings-men.
For his part, the Pastor of the Harvest Church in Robertsport, Grand Cape Mount County, Rev. Thomas A. Kulu, said government and partners should pay attention to the welfare of inmates in the country.
Pastor Kulu stated that keeping more than 30 inmates in small cells is not too good for their health in prison.
He maintained that in prison inmates should be treated according to fundamental human rights, noting that anybody can go to prison any time in life. He emphasized that government should provide better prison facilities and treat inmates with dignity in prison.
