The government has been called upon to review living conditions of prisons staff.

Bishop Philip Anyalo from Kisumu, made the call when he led a thanks-giving service at the Nairobi industrial area Remands Prison.

The prison is said to have over five thousand staff members living in deplorable housing units.

The Bishop too led the congregation in breaking the ground where a church will be built by the end of the year.

He said the church would be used for prayer services and exit point for the prisoners who are being released to the society.

Nairobiís industrial area remand prison has 7000 inmates.
