70-year-old woman wrongly jailed for 15 years shares painful life after prison

A 70-year-old woman, Ama Forson, who was wrongly sentenced to 15 years imprisonment over drugs, says life has become unbearable after her release.

Madam Forson said she was released on appeal after serving six years in prison.

Speaking to Adom News reporter Prince Owusu Asiedu on Adom Trotro, she said she faces rejection from family and stigma from society.

According to her, she now goes around picking pieces of fish from friends to survive as she finds it difficult to get food to eat.

She added that one of her sons died after she returned from prison.

Madam Forson said the hardship and rejection have left her feeling hopeless.
