It was a happy moment at Nakuru women’s prison as inmates got a chance to meet their families in a rare event known as remote parenting and open day. This is a privilege accorded to women prisoners to enable them to meet their children and offer parental care. They prayed together and danced in the rains for the better part of the afternoon as everyone forgot the pain that comes with incarceration and separation. PDO Counselor Leslyn Shirukha who prepared the inmates for the meeting praised the management of Nakuru Women's Prison for providing the mothers with such a valuable opportunity to take part 'remotely' in the parenting of their children and meet their families. PDO provided counseling services to prepare inmates for the meeting, and how to manage the emotions that accompany it.
