        Prisons should rehabilitate because the intention is that these same persons should be able to reintegrate into society. Unless, if we are saying that all prisoners should be jailed for life. A prisoner still remains a human being and should have his/her basic rights too.

        African rulers like Pres. JPM must focus on presidential agenda for the betterment of the well-being of citizens rather than petty, non-issues! As you have correctly put forth, denying conjugal rights and flogging of inmates runs contrary to set laws, period.

        The whole conjugal visits thing has always been absolutely ridiculous. Prison = no social life. The rest? Lifting weights & fighting all day vs self sufficient work, like farming, cleaning (not hard labor) is a discussion worth having.

        Prisoners are also human beings. But Even #Magufuli will be jailed so when he start putting turff punishments He will also face it hot
