PSC provides help, support, and information for detainees either in police custody or within the prison system in Cameroon. PSC also tries to ensure that the diets are nutritionally sound and that inmates clothing, hygiene and bodycare products are made available or can be ordered or sent in to prisoners. PSC also ensures regular sporting competitions to help keep inmates busy while serving their terms
Physical activity programs for prisoners like sport and organised runs isn’t about being soft on crime, it is about helping people rehabilitate for everyone’s sake.
The number of young people in Cameroonian prisons is soaring. In the past ten years the state’s prison population has increased tremendously due to the sociopolitical crisis in the country, and in the coming year the government is expected to spend so much money in building new prison facilities across the nation.
PSC has made it possible for us to have a tournament like this without any problems between the inmates, cause we used to do them but there was always fights and other problems that made us stop them, but now they (the inmates) know that this is an opportunity for them and they want to make the best out of it”, said the prison superintended of the Buea Central Prison
During this last years we had the pleasure to organise municipal prison tournaments in the South West Region, which had 12 teams of 6, divided into 4 groups. They all played against each other and the winner of each group would get a ticket to the semifinals.
PSC will be organizing a mega Prison Tournament in the days and months ahead to create an enabling environment for inmates previous sporting activities has made it possible for our organization to be noticed at home and abroad and we have held them with 100 percent success and without any problems between the inmates.

PSC BRINGING HOPE TO INMATES IN THE PRISONS OF THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHWEST REGIONS OF CAMEROON
As part of our agenda for the year 2021, Prisoners Support Cameroon (PSC) in partnership with Worldview Mission International (WMI), SADEA and Plan Cameroon will be launching its third phase of a mega humanitarian assistance to inmates in the prisons of Buea, Bamenda and the Littoral regions of Cameroon. PSC has been operating in Cameroon for the past four years providing support and assistance to inmates in the South West Region of Cameroon. Due to the deepening Anglophone crisis which has brought untold suffering to the inhabitants of the North West and South West and the increasing number of prisoners in the already inhabitable prisoners, PSC support is going to be providing some basic humanitarian needs in some four prisons in Buea and Bamenda respectively. These urgent humanitarian needs comprise of: 300 bags of rice, 300 Mattresses, Cartons of bathing soap, and the provision of a borehole in each prison earmarked. All these will be achieved in the space of four years
WHY PROVIDE MATTRESSES TO PRISONERS?
To uplift the status of inmates by showing how to bring peace, love and progress to humanity in dying need. It does not matter where you are, whether in prisons or in government, you can still touch the lives of people around you through positive living and love. We can be leaders without title when we make our life to be of service to others by making them happy always in prison.
PSC is planning with the permission of the prisons authorities to build a one-stop skills acquisition centre in Bamenda and Buea in the years ahead. The centre will have a computer training unit as well as motor vehicle, motorcycle, generator and handsets repair training workshops, while the vocational workshop will be expanded in Bamenda and Buea
Bags of Rice | Prisons | Amount per bag | Grand total |
300 Bags | Buea and Bamenda Central Prisons | 21,000frs | 6,300,000 |
300 Matrasses | Buea and Bamenda Central Prisons | 25,000frs | 7,500,000 |
