Evangelist Patricia Asiedua has called for limited mobile phone access for inmates, saying it could help them maintain basic communication with loved ones.
Speaking on Atinka TV’s Entertainment Lounge hosted by Ramn Fada, the HeavenWay Champion Ministry founder- popularly known as Agradaa -argued that prisoners should at least be allowed to use basic phones, not smartphones, to stay in touch with family members.
Drawing from her eight-month stay in prison, she explained that strict monitoring often makes even simple conversations difficult, leaving inmates emotionally disconnected.
“There are times you are speaking to your partner, and because of how you are guarded, you cannot even say ‘I love you,’” she said.
She described prison life as challenging, recalling moments she had to carry blocks barefooted. Despite public doubt about her incarceration, she maintained that she endured the experience by the grace of God.
Agradaa also highlighted the lack of entertainment in prisons, noting that inmates become excited whenever outreach programmes are organised, as such events offer temporary relief from their daily routine.
She added that efforts by artistes like Stonebwoy to perform for prisoners are commendable, as they help uplift the spirits of inmates.
