PRISON CHILDREN Over 200 children in prisons and cannot be separated from their mothers
There are at least 200 children aged below 4, who were either born in prison or are still too young to be separated from their mothers who are serving their sentence. Children in prison have often been referred to as forgotten victims of crime, and the invisible victims of crime and the penal code. At the Lang’ata women’s prison, a daycare centre is offering a conducive environment for children in their early stage of development. One which shields them from the dangers of being raised solely in the environment behind bars.
