Inmates from the Eldoret Main Prison have landed new opportunities after the correctional facility officially launched the full-scale cabro block production unit, creating jobs within the prison walls.
The programme, backed by the Kenya Prisons Service and local quarry operators, is part of a broader push to integrate industrial training into correctional systems as KPS aims to equip offenders with practical skills aimed at rehabilitation.
Already, dozens of inmates have been enrolled in the programme, working daily to manufacture paving blocks that are being used to improve prison infrastructure.
According to prison officials, the move is designed to reduce idleness, foster discipline, and prepare inmates for productive reintegration into society.
