Did you know that poverty and single parent homes have a very high correlation with being imprisoned later in life? Did you know that 50% of people get re-imprisoned within two years of being released from prison? 

In this episode, we celebrate Teresa Njoroge, founder and CEO of Clean Start Kenya. Teresa Njoroge worked in the Banking industry for 10 years. She was wrongfully convicted and served time in the largest Women's prison in Kenya, the Langata Women Maximum Security Prison, along with her 3 month old baby. This experience drove her to start Clean Start. In this episode we talk about her personal journey of being in prison and reintegrating into society as well as the stories of different women that she works with. We talk about the link between poverty and imprisonment, alternative forms of justice and the way forward. 

An incredibly inspiring story of her courage and the difficult work done by Clean Start.
