Parliament has passed the Community Service Bill, 2026, introducing community service as an alternative to imprisonment for persons convicted of specified categories of offences.
The new legislation establishes a National Community Service Secretariat and provides a legal framework for non-custodial sentencing, with the aim of reducing overcrowding in Ghana's prisons and promoting offender rehabilitation.
Under the law, courts will have broader discretion to impose community service instead of custodial sentences in eligible cases.
