    "content": "particularly, Lang’ata Women Prison where the women prisoners are well dressed. However, if you visit other prisons, for example, Eldoret, Kitale, Bungoma and Naivasha Maximum Prison, you will find that the warders and prisoners live in dehumanising conditions. It is no wonder that the prisoner and the warders at that lower level compete for attention. If you visit Naivasha Maximum Prison, you will find about 50 men staying in an open hall without facilities. This is dehumanising to the officers. This is the case and yet we know that housing is a very important element for the officers to work efficiently. Is it not time that prisons, which generate a lot of money in the form of Appropriation-in-Aid (A-i-A) from their farms and industries--- The Government should return a portion of the A-i-A to the prisons for the improvement of housing and other facilities. We have qualified personnel, for instance, masons in the prisons who could use the money that is ploughed back to improve the welfare and general living conditions of the officers."
