Abstract
The study was conducted to find out the Guidance and Counselling needs of prison inmates in Ghana. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two (2) prison facilities in Greater Accra region of Ghana. Proportional stratified sampling technique was used to select one hundred (100) prisoners consisting of eighty five (85) males and fifteen (15) females. The data was analyzed descriptively and presented in tables as frequency counts and percentages. Independent sample test was used to determine whether the extent of educational, vocational and personal-social guidance needs of male prisoners differed from female prisoners. It was found that both male and female prison inmates needed educational guidance to a little extent but needed vocational and personal social guidance to a large extent. Significant differences were found between the educational, vocational and personal-social needs between the male and female inmates. It was recommended among others that, the expressed educational, vocational and personal-social guidance needs of prison inmates should be provided to ensure their proper rehabilitation and integration into society upon their release.
