| PRISON DIARIES | Catherine Syokau Jailed For Defiling Minor

Tonight on Prison Diaries, We focus on one Catherine Syokau from Lang’ata Women’s Prison. At the age of 34 Syokau was slapped with a 15 year jail term after the court found her guilty of defiling and infecting a neighbour’s child with syphilis. But Syokau insists that was a case of mistaken identity. The most painful part of her experience has been the fact that she has not laid eyes on her children for close to three years. But today, all that changes as prison diaries reunites Catherine with her children.

Imprisoning this woman, or any mother with young children, is not punishing them. Actually, it is punishing the children.

[@michaelbuoro3015]

so mothers with young children should be left alone to commit crimes at will? smh

I don't care for words. Did they link the illness of the child Directly with her? If so, they rest is jibber. If not, what a miscourage of justice. There are many people in prison who have been wrongfully convicted wasting away for nothing.
