Editorial Corporation a game changer for prisons

Last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the Kenya Prisons Enterprise Corporation Order, 2018. It establishes the Prisons Enterprise Corporation, mandated to expand the scope of the prisons work programmes so as to unlock the revenue potential of the prisons industry. Ultimately, the purpose is to turn said pro- grammes to lend them a reform agenda, while at the same time making prisons financially self- sustaining. Indeed, according to the Presidency, the new corporation would also contribute to the realisation of the President’s Big Four agenda, es- pecially on food security, affordable housing, and manufacturing. The corporation will strive to organise and man- age the assets of the Prisons Department, includ- ing 86 prison farms that boast 18,226 acres of land. Kenya Prison Farms Fund and the Kenya Prison Enterprise Fund manage the production and sale processes under the enterprise directorate.
