<p>The women appear to be in a dire need of sex that they did not mince words in demanding for an amendment to the laws of the land in their favour.</p>

<p>One of the inmates Sofia Swaleh who is serving a life sentence spoke on behalf of her fellow female prisoners.</p>

<p>According to her, the time allocated to their visiting spouses and relatives is so short that does not allow for sexual intimacy.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>“The Government, through the leadership of Kenyan prisons, should introduce a law that allows women serving lengthy jail terms enjoy sexual intimacy with their visiting husbands,"</em>&nbsp;said Sofia Swaleh.</p>

<p>Currently, once you are sentenced, a prisoner loses most rights including the conjugal ones.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Mtangani GK Prison senior administrator, Purity Nkatha Muthaura reportedly told&nbsp;<em>K24 Digital that it will only take parliament to make changes to the law as prisoners have demanded.</em></p>

<p>Reports say in 2014 a similar suggestion was made but the Government kicked against it, saying it was not being ready for it.&nbsp;</p>
