Imagine a woman waking up at Kamiti Maximum Prison or a man at Langata Women for visitation.

Just like in the movies, the prison warder calls out the 'host' to a secluded room, granting the couple private time to reconnect in a moment of intimacy.

Well, this sums up a case filed by three men before the High Court on Wednesday.

John Wangai, Peter Agoro and Anthony Murimi moved to the High Court under urgency, arguing that men and women behind bars are living an undignified life as they were denied an essential human need.
