STORIES OF PRISONER’S CHILDREN

Prisoners’ children take a big share in the fate of their parents. A good number of them come to hear about their parents when someone is insulting them; relating them to the killer parent or to whatever crime the parents may have committed.

The unfortunate situation is where children find themselves in the hands of complainants for guardians. Vengeance is unleashed on them like in the case of Ruth and Shafiki.

Below are some of the prisoners’ children I consider fortunate. Although they are not as well provided for as those with parents, they are in school and have the basic requirements a child needs.

At the time of her arrest, Shafiki mother was pregnant with the baby boy. She gave birth after a few moths she gave birth and later they had to separate because of the age limit for children staying with incarcerated parents.

Baby Shafiki was handed over to relatives but the time we picked him, he was living with an old woman in a single room, which doubles as a commercial place for local brew. This means most of the time the place has people who are drunk and the old woman has very little time for the boy this very home is where the mother is said to have committed. the crime.

Shafiki’s mother was sentenced to death about ten years ago.
