US has Government, Community and privately operated jails. Private jails bribing judges to send prisoners to them instead of the Government facilities not surprising.
Kenya jails will remain GOK run.
Yeah, GOK can be trusted. Especially where some good money can be made.
When we consider the ingenuity of prisoners in fleecing raia, do you think the GOK can come with an understanding with the prisoners to develop better and more ethical businesses, where the prisoner gets at most 20% of the proceeds?
What is our understanding of how a human gets into crime, and how is this understanding reflected in our correctional models?
A look at how we understand criminals and how we deal with them leaves a great probability that this commercialization will breed oppression, especially to the young people in our slums and the poor whom the well to do appear not to wish to pay for their services.
