    Effectiveness of Prison Decongestion Programs in Selected Prisons in Kenya: An Empirical Analysis
    (Chuka University, 2023) Mosoti D.; Mbuba J. M.; Kiboro C. N.
    This paper analyses prison decongestion programs in Kenya and their effects on prison populations in the country. The analysis is based on primary data collected from a sample of 266 prison officers and 16 probation officers. The analysis shows that overall, prison decongestion programs contribute to a reduction of prison population. Based on the evidence generated, the paper recommends adoption of community-based sentences especially on petty crime offenders to reduce overcrowding in prisons.
