James Fort Prison was built in 1673 by the Royal African Company of England as a trading post for gold and slaves. It later served as a colonial-era prison until 2008. Notably, Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, was imprisoned there from 1950 to 1951 alongside other prisoners. Today, James Fort stands as a historic monument and tourist site near the Jamestown Lighthouse, representing both Ghana's colonial past and its struggle for independence.
