A call has been made in Kenya for initiatives to ease the re-entry of prisoners into society - this after government's July 13 announcement that almost 8,000 inmates will be freed to reduce overcrowding in jails. "A lot of civic education needs to be done to inform the public that people who go to prison are members of our society," said Samwel Mohochi, acting executive director of the Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU).
