Delegation from the Ghana Prisons Service on Friday February 24 paid a visit to the family house of the late Ghanaian international footballer Christian Atsu Twasam to commiserate with the family.

Christian Atsu's philanthropic work through the Crime Check Foundation paid fines for 113 prison inmates including 96 males and 17 females and got them released from prison.

He successfully reintegrated 46 ex-convicts by supporting them financially to start their own businesses.

Christian Atsu personally financed the grading of the Awutu Camp Prison park and donated food items to the prison.

He also purchased a drilling machine for an inmate of the Kumasi central prison.

In 2019 during the Crime Check Reintegration Project Christian Atsu made a strong appeal to Government to try and possibly pass the non-custodial sentencing bill into law. This, he believed will help decongest our prisons.
