We smuggle ‘wee’ in our anus, exchange sodomy for comfort – Ex-convict recounts life in prison

An ex-convict’s confessions to newsmen will give you a glimpse of life in Ghana’s prisons and ultimately, the schemes and activities of an armed robber.

Koo (a pseudonym for purposes of anonymity) decided to let it all out on his own accord after following the program on radio where several shocking confessions are made by various persons.

Koo explained he was forced into gambling at an early age of 15 as a result of negligence by his father whose failure to take care of him resulted in his fall out from school.

Cunningness is a skill he had to adopt in his first gambling experience with a rich man. Koo tampered with the playing cards in his first game with the rich man after conspiring with the woman who sold them. Through that, he won GH7,000 and 3,000 subsequently, a thing which didn’t go well with his contender who felt tricked and hence refused to release the money. It eventually resulted in a knife fight in which Koo injured the rich man and made away with the cash after which he went to give the card seller her fair share of the deal.

He ended up in prison after the rich man reported the case to the police, accusing Koo of stealing. He was tried and jailed for two years.

Koo revealed some intriguing things to Happy fm about his 2-year stay in prison. He had to resort to washing his fellow inmate’s clothes at certain points to earn as low as GHC1 for his basic needs and the food, well as usual was nothing to write home about.

“The food served there was so terrible that it was not fit for a dog.The banku had no salt and the soups were so light that you could see your reflection in it,” Koo stated.

It was during his stay that he learnt the somewhat hard truths about previous stories he had heard about prisons.

For a little comfort and some money to get by, one had to make the hard choice of sacrificing their anus for their fellow men’s pleasure he explained. An older man or serving inmate with money will have sexual intercourse with an inmate who allows it in exchange for giving him good food and basically providing a comfortable life for him.

‘Wee’ in the prison cells, yes, the hard drug ‘wee’ and other illegal materials prohibited in the cells were smuggled somehow by inmates into the cells; the how is what Koo revealed.

“We have all heard that Indian hemp is sold in jail, I am sure just like me, you wonder how the Indian hemp gets into the prisons to be sold to inmates”.
Wraps of weed were smuggled through the anus to the prison cells by inmates.

Painful if you imagine it but it was done and to get to the stage where such things including mobile phones could stay in one’s anus and be transported, it took days of training with objects as big as batteries to widen the area and create enough room for the smuggled objects through the backside of these men nicknamed ‘Cargo’.

Koo got closer to a group of persons in the prisons for armed robbery by ‘acting’ like them to give off the impression that he knew all about robbery and could assist them in their rounds. He went as far as lying about what he did to get into prison; he killed someone during a robbery attack he told them.

He eventually got involved and got hints of schedules for their robbery. Having intel from close associates to the targets, they were sorted. In the meantime though, they had to transfer their ‘deals’ to fellow armedrobbers on the outside when they received calls from people with information until they were released to go on their very own operations.
