Inmates have called for a review of the Sexual Offences Act, saying it is being exploited by women to have men jailed on flimsy grounds. The inmates petitioned the committee to develop a law to facilitatethe integration of offenders who have completed their jail time. They complained that courts impose exorbitant bail terms on most remandees, making them languish in jails. They said some remandees and inmates are denied bail or bond by the courts yet others with similar charges are granted the same. The inmates also complained of slow pace of determining the cases, with Makadara law courts cited as notorious for case backlogs.
