I was sentenced for stealing when eight months pregnant

Beatrice Goroka,

For inmates who are mothers, raising a kid behind bars is no child’s play. But how do these children get in prison in the first place? Grace Wangare, who gave birth in prison explains: “I got sentenced for stealing while I was eight months pregnant and delivered here in prison.

I am glad they gave me time to recover at the maternity wing. My husband has been visiting me ever since to see my two-month old baby.”
