Comments / pictures

Manyani Maximum Security Prison along the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway in Voi sub-county, Taita-Taveta County is undoubtedly one of the most secure correctional facilities in the country. Surrounded by acres of wild bush teeming with wild animals, uninhabitable hills and punishingly high temperatures, the facility is virtually inaccessible.

Visitors are only allowed entry on a need basis and even then, after strict vetting. With dozens of armed hawk-eyed wardens conducting patrols at any one time, towering 20-feet brick walls and razor wires, this fortress is impregnable.

2020: A family of elephants from the Tsavo National Park has been on the loose causing massive destruction to the Manyani maximum security prison’s 20-acre farm. “About 20 jumbos have been invading the farm every night for months. They have destroyed food, fruits and vegetables. Our losses are huge,” said Bison Madengwa, the officer-in-charge of Manyani and the County Prisons Commander.
