"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, obviously, there are merits for preferring transfers. We know that, for prisoners, our jails are too congested. We do not want to congest them any further. We would rather decongest them. So, releasing some prisoners to be transferred to prison facilities in their mother country would be a merit. However, if you think of a prison facility as a truly correctional facility where we try to correct people and impart them with skills, so that they can do better in life, what is wrong with having a Kenyan serving a jail term in the USA acquiring skills that we do not have in our country? Since prison is a correctional facility, once released, such person can come back to the country with some skills and end up being a better Kenyan, with transfer of technology."
