Agricultural communities in Kenya are rehabilitating prisoners through agroecology in a bid to reduce reoffending and revive local independent coffee farms.
Kenyan prisons are full of the young and the poor. It is no surprise when you consider the high levels of unemployment and the criminal means to which many turn to survive. Trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and crime, former prisoners are often left stigmatised by society and as many as 40% will re-offend. Kenyan NGO, RODI (Resource Orientated Development Initiatives) has been tackling this issue with its Restorative Prisoner Rehabilitation project that teaches prisoners practical skills in agroecological practices.
