It is every mother's dream to care and nurture their child in their early years of life.

In a work set up, most women find it hard to return to work after their maternity leave and wish they could spend more time with their child, to give it the best protection that only a mother can.

For twenty-three-year-old Karen Njeri (not her real name), this phase in a woman's life found her in a rare situation that no woman can wish for.

She faced the responsibility of nursing a newborn behind the high walls of Langata Women's Maximum Prison after she was imprisoned in March 2024.
