Breaking News: Captain Ibrahim Traoré goes to prison. The president of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré, has become the first African leader to visit prisoners in prison. On Wednesday, April 22, Traoré made a stopover at the Baporo correctional facility in the Sanguié province, Nando region. He went there and encouraged prisoners who are working corn on the 40-hectare piece of land. “Prison must be humane. We are a society,” Traore said. “We are not barbarians, and we are not violent. We are an African society, and in Africa, respect for human beings is something deeply ingrained in our culture. So, regardless of the situation a person finds themselves in, they must be treated with a minimum of respect,” the head of state emphasized. The prison system under Traoré has been reformed, giving prisoners dignity and ensuring they have skills so that, upon leaving, they can easily integrate into society. The Baporo Penitentiary Center is an open-environment prison where inmates engage in agricultural and pastoral production activities. “We do not want our prisons to resemble those of colonialist countries. We have decided to humanize our prisons (...) and we will reduce the number of our prisons and concentrate them in production areas like this one,” Captain Ibrahim Traoré told the prisoners and authorities. He, however, encouraged the inmates to remain positive and to continue learning. “The Ministry of Justice will support you so that you become model citizens of tomorrow,” he reassured them. The Baporo correction center is a two-story building built for suitable accommodation. According to the Minister of Justice, Rodrigue Edasso Bayala, the building, costing approximately 500 million CFA francs, provides all the necessary amenities to preserve human dignity in detention. With a capacity of 500 places, this infrastructure increases the capacity of the center and significantly improves detention conditions for better performance by inmates. As a penitentiary center with an agricultural focus, the CPAB produced 240 tons of crops in 2025, and for 2026, the center aims to cultivate more than 300 hectares for an expected production of 782.5 tons.
