Sad Forgotten facts about KENYA Prisons(correctional centre).

DID U KNOW THAT IN KENYA:-
The country’s 87 prisons are said to contain over 343 percent their original capacity.This leads to,
Human rights abuse, poor nutrition, corruption, rape, torture and sometimes murder are some of the
hallmarks attributed to the Kenyan prisons system that includes the prison officers and prisoners.

There are no are no signs of reforms related to juvenile offenders,Development of a probation service or alternative sanctions measures. Kenya prison still lack support and development of probation service orientated toward the sustainable rehabilitation of ex-inmates.And the laws are so bad that Government has no capacity or response to track record,trace ex-inmates and ensure respects of  juvenile offenders ‘rights and contributes to their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. 

Given fact that world unemployment rates is on a sharp increase,easy access to hardcore drugs,online and mobile cellphone criminality.plus huge security lapse especially here in Kenya ,gangs will casually take advantage of it,Some ex-inmates will easily fall back to criminal activity, if not properly followed and traced,even

after serving 20 years with hard labor. 

"Some ex-inmates leave correctional facilities and prisons more hardcore, more intelligent,more courageous!!", more and more smart than they came, reason being that now-days convicts do share a lot of sensitive information or knowledge(especially when depressed or feel betrayed), just imagine a Mobile telephone IT expert sharing a cell room with a  criminal Banker!!!..imagine convict ex-police sharing a cell-room with convict Hacker!!.

50 years later after Independence,Kenyan prisoners still remain in darkness. Going by the increasing crime rate and the ever- increasing number of convicts, the Kenyan penal system has not deterred crime nor rehabilitated the penal institutions...

prison officers are not adequately looked after,especially housing,insurance benefits and salary.
