For the last 19 years, Cell 7 in Lang'ata Women's Prison has been home to 80-year-old Esther Njeri, who is serving life sentence for murder charges. Also in the prison is her daughter, Lucy Wanjiku, 37.

Njeri's uniform is a blue dress which displays her new identity; 'trustee'. She is the senior prefect to her fellow inmates and acts as a link between them and the officer in charge of the facility.
