Resentencing Hearings
Our team of legal experts has been engaged in aiding the incarcerated to conduct resentencing hearings based on various guideline provisions as set out under law.
Following the landmark ruling of Francis Karioko Muruatetu & Another vs. the Republic, Petition No. 15 & 16 of 2015 (consolidated), by the Supreme Court in December 2017, declaring the mandatory death penalty unconstitutional, debate as to what purpose the death penalty serves in the criminal justice system was opened. It also roused the question of whether the existence of the mandatory death penalty sentence in statutes is of any value. Though the Muruatetu Judgment referred to murder, the Court of Appeal in William Okungu Kittiny vs. Republic, ([2018] eKLR), confirmed that resentencing can be applied in other cases where the law provides for a mandatory sentence.
Social Re-Integration
About 90% of persons in prison custody will at one point be released into the society. Upon their release, these persons will take up residence (become our neighbors), find employment (become our co-workers) and move freely within the society (or within certain conditions as determined by the release order(s)). Social reintegration programmes and activities are aimed at fostering the readiness, social aptitude and mental readiness to reenter society determined to live a dignified and crime-free life. The CELSIR social reintegration programmes and activities expose, triggers and inspires prisoners to develop self-worth/respect, and develop a sense of responsibility.
