Peter Horsfield on 30 Dec 13Alexander McLean has so much compassion for the suffering inmates of Africa that he has dedicated most of his life to caring for them and personally making sure that their needs are well-provided for. He founded the African Prisoners Project or APP when he was only 18 years old back in 2004 after witnessing a shackled inmate in a hospital lying in his own waste.
