S£x deprived female prisoners in Kenya are pleading with the authorities to enact new regulations that will offer them the opportunity to have s_xu@l int!m@cy with their spouses when they visit.
One of the inmates, Sofia Swaleh who is serving a life sentence, pleaded on behalf of other prisoners to increase the time given to their visiting spouses and relatives so as to give room for int!m@cy.
“The Government, through the leadership of Kenyan prisons, should introduce a law that allows women serving lengthy jail terms enjoy s£xu@l int!m@cy with their visiting husbands,” Swaleh of the Mtangani GK Prison in Malindi, Kilfi County said.
A senior administrator in the prison, Purity Nkatha Muthaura, made it known that that the request from the female inmates or even their incarcerated male counterparts cannot be granted unless a new law is passed by the Parliament.
This is not the first time inmates have requested to have conjug@l visits introduced into the Kenyan prisons. A similar request was made in 2014 & 2020, but the Government was not in favour because it was not ready for such arrangements in the detention facilities.
