According to Halima Mucheke, a women representative aspirant, there is need for providing children born to mothers who are serving various sentences special treatment and without subjecting them to prison torture. "When you sentence the mother with the child that is subjecting the child to unnecessary prison life and such mothers need special care in separate places", said Mucheke.
