Summary Of The Case Study
A prison in Central Kenya faces severe challenges due to overcrowding, operating at over 200% capacity. Inmates, many from impoverished backgrounds with limited education, endure congested living conditions and heightened exposure to communicable diseases. They are rarely visited by paralegals, cannot afford lawyers, and lack the knowledge to appeal judgments.
Furthermore, the prison staff who assist them have little legal knowledge, exacerbating the systemic barriers that prevent prisoners from accessing justice. This often results in prolonged and unfair incarceration, particularly for non-violent, petty offenses. The combination of limited legal assistance, lack of knowledge, and inadequate support from prison staff highlights the urgent need for improved legal resources and education within the prison system.
Wakili AI intervention
Wakili AI is revolutionizing the prison system in Central Kenya by providing inmates with real-time legal advice and resources, enabling them to understand their rights and navigate legal processes. The AI-driven platform automates the drafting of legal documents, assisting prisoners in filing appeals and managing their cases efficiently. With Wakili AI, inmates gain access to accurate and timely legal information, reducing their reliance on overburdened or unavailable paralegals and inadequately trained prison staff. This transformative approach empowers prisoners, ensuring fairer and faster justice while alleviating systemic barriers within the legal system.
Our Approach and Impact
Wakili AI, in partnership with legal aid students, university law students, and other collaborators, is transforming the prison system in Central Kenya. By training prison staff to use Wakili AI, we empower them with legal knowledge and tools to continuously assist inmates. This initiative not only enhances the legal literacy of the prison staff but also ensures sustained legal support for prisoners. As a result, inmates gain timely and accurate legal advice, the ability to draft legal documents, and the opportunity to appeal judgments, leading to fairer and more efficient justice outcomes.
