The entire prisons staff population is about 13,000, but the target was 1500 officers and 300 members of public in Nairobi area where a sample size of 180 from Commissioned and Non-Commissioned uniformed prisons officers, non-uniformed officials and public will be selected using stratified sampling method.

The findings were that Prisons in Nairobi and its vicinity do not enjoy a good Corporate image because of the provision of basic facilities to both staff and prisoners, inadequate training for staff on Public Relations and Human Rights, poor communication and attitudes both within the Prisons and externally, their organizational structure and current Prisons legislations. It is recommended that the above mentioned conditions be urgently addressed to give the entire Prison Service a good face.
