Speaking to GhanaWeb’s Mary Ampeh, he explained that although she has completed her sentence and enjoys her constitutional rights, some restrictions may apply depending on the nature of her conviction. “She is completely free like any other Ghanaian with her full constitutional rights,” he said. However, he, added that ex-convicts may face legal complications that could affect certain positions or roles in society. He explained that such restrictions generally remain in place for up to 10 years after the completion of the individual’s sentence. “If she gets involved with the law again, she may receive a harsher sentence than someone without a previous conviction,” he added.
