Meet the Mzungu Inmate Making A Change In Naivasha GK Prison

Many of us have thankfully never been to jail, maybe a night in police cells but not a maximum correction facility.

From the outside, Prison seems pretty awful .When you envision prison, you think f a life of not dropping the soap, watching your back in case someone shanks you, joining prison gang to stay safe, basically a dungeon of squalor and extreme misery.

But it’s not all doom and gloom in prison, that part about losing your freedom sucks but it’s also a place where you could gain skills that you couldn’t afford to gain on the outside. You have heard of prisoners gaining skills such as metal work, teaching and tailoring, but did you know you could study engineering in prison?

K24 highlights the story of a prisoner of European descent, Moses Joakim, who was arrested over drug trafficking but now he is an engineer and his professional skills are used in the prison, he is the chief engineer.
