adminOfficer commanding Mashonaland Region Senior Assistant Commissioner Wonder Chisora, who was speaking at a handover ceremony of seed maize and fertilisers to prison officers’ widows, said the ZPS had begun identifying the needy families.
“Through the Commissioner’s goodwill trust fund, we have started identification of disadvantaged inmate families.
“We have managed to identify inmate families in dire need of help during our rehabilitation programme where family background is exposed,
“With help from community leaders we will pick families that ZPS will assist in sending their children to school,” he said.
This, he said, would go a long way in ensuring that family life goes on despite the incarceration of the breadwinner.
Senior Assistant Commissioner Chisora said the fund was currently providing mental, physical and social needs to under privileged children in prison with their mothers.
Twenty families of late prison officers received 32kg of seed maize and 50kg of fertiliser.
He said, “This fund, a first of its kind in ZPS was established so as to gather financial and material resources through donations and fundraising.”
