Overcrowding in prison is a matter of concern that must receive attention, petty offenders should be diverted from the criminal justice system in order to repair the harm caused-Justice Lilian Mutende, Chairperson CSO

🌟 A heartfelt shoutout to the incredible @PatriciaIthau, CEO @WPPScanGroup, for her generous support in offering our constituents dignity as they rebuild their lives. The donation of beautiful clothing items is more than just fabric—it's a thread of hope and confidence. 💃✨

Meeting them changed Teresa and, after her eventual exoneration, gave her a new purpose: supporting former women prisoners to deal with the stigma on the outside through her organisation Clean Start Africa.

I have never been a proponent of decongestion. 80% of these inmates shouldn't be in prison in the first place if judicial officers considered non-custodial options. Crazily, probation officers have severally found disregarded reports inside sentence review files.

We talk about “proximate leadership” at Elevate - the idea of listening to and supporting those who have experience with the work that they’re doing. A shining example of this is 2023 Elevate Prize winner, Teresa's work at @CleanStartKenya.

This is timely, incarceration is one of the categories of Childhood Adversities. When the care giver is taken to jail and the children are left without adult care. May be its time to consider alternative restorative justice for petty offences? may be...

Empowerment is not just a noun. Empowerment is a doing word. When you empower those who have been stigmatized by society, written off by family, & cast aside by community, you empower a nation. Everyone deserves a second chance. @CleanStartKenya is all about that. A Clean Start.
Our attendance line up, just keeps getting better and better! Guess who else will be in attendance - Our board director, Renee Ngamau @reneengamau 🎉🎉🎉
We hope to see you at the conference! Registration is simple, register here: lnkd.in/dJq7pXy9
