Inmate coached me before court appearance, says content creator Ebo Noah

Ghanaian content creator Ebo Noah has disclosed that a fellow inmate coached him on courtroom behaviour ahead of his recent court appearance, a revelation that has drawn attention to the informal support systems operating within detention facilities.

Speaking about his time in custody, Ebo Noah explained that an inmate with apparent prior experience in the legal system provided him with practical guidance on how to conduct himself during proceedings. The advice included what to expect, how to present himself, and key behavioural tips that he said proved remarkably accurate.

He admitted to feeling uncertain and anxious before entering the courtroom, but the unexpected coaching helped him approach the situation with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of the process.

What struck him most, he noted, was how precisely events unfolded according to the inmate’s predictions. “It happened exactly as I was told,” he said.

The account has since sparked online discussions, with many expressing surprise that such strategic guidance originated from within a prison environment. Others have observed that the experience reflects a common reality in correctional centres, where individuals with prior exposure to the justice system often share knowledge with first-time detainees.

Ebo Noah has been increasingly open about his detention experience in recent weeks, describing the period as both difficult and transformative. Observers say his story highlights the human dimension of correctional facilities, where even under challenging circumstances, inmates can still offer meaningful support to one another.

As he continues to rebuild his public presence, the content creator appears focused on using his experience to inform and engage his audience.
