The Director General of the Sierra Leone Service Mr. Joseph Lamboi has encouraged inmates not to give up in life on account of their imprisonment but rather be a good citizenry when get freed.
This inspiring speech was made on Thursday 6th February, 2020, while observing the “Black History Month Celebration” at the SLCS’ conference hall, former Special Courts Complex, Freetown.

The Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs- Mr. Lahai Lawrence Leema, while addressing a question posed by an inmate, said a lot of prominent people in society today and in history were imprisoned, but their period of imprisonment as moments of transformation.
