Zimbabwe's prison service wants inmates to donate blood and help their communities. Officers from the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services spoke about their new partnership with the National Blood Services Zimbabwe. The program helps prisoners give back and reduces negative attitudes about people behind bars. Prison spokesman Tafadzwa Vengesai said blood donations create connections between inmates and society. Officials plan to hold regular blood drives at correctional facilities across the country.

The initiative comes before World Blood Donor Day celebrations on June 14. Prison leaders believe inmates can play important roles saving lives through blood donations. Vengesai called on all Zimbabweans between 16 and 65 years old to become regular blood donors. The country needs stronger blood supplies for hospitals and emergency medical care. Kadoma's Jameson High School will host this year's main World Blood Donor Day event.
