Spokesperson for Blantyre prison, Duncan Malizani said there was need for spiritual reformation for inmates to fully transform and become responsible citizens after their sentences.
He said this on Sunday when Blantyre synod of the CCAP inducted 13 inmates from the prison into men’s ministry in an attempt to ensure total reformation.
President Dr Chakwera pardoned the 320 inmates, including former cabinet minister Uladi Mussa whose release caused a stir and debate as to when a person convicted of corruption is eligible for parole.
