Growing momentum for prison reform in Africa

Alexander McLean, Founder and Director General of the UK-based charity The African Prisons Project (APP), talks about the work it is carrying out and the part played by Cambridge Judge Business School’s General Management Programme. APP’s initial focus was to improve education and health in prisons by refurbishing libraries and medical facilities. Now, having worked with over 20,000 prisoners in Uganda, Kenya and Sierra Leone, attention is switching to leadership development for senior and middle management in African prison services.
