2.0: INTRODUCTION TO THE INSTITUTION
Kenya has a population of about 40 million and a prison population of over 54,000 which
may be construed that the justice system is skewed to favor custodial punishment.
Measures to address this scenario include various community corrections sentences. The
practice of probation as a sentencing and or correctional disposition is a response to
classical and medieval management of crime and deviance which put more emphasis on
Punitive sanctions as opposed to rehabilitative and reformative measures. It is also
responsive to human right acclaim to the methods best suited to the management of errant
population. The main attributes of community corrections methods are the humane
features, rehabilitative attributes and penal decongestion outcomes. Probation has
continued to be core in the criminal justice system in Kenya for over six decades.
2.1. Brief history of Probation and Aftercare Services.

11

The history of probation services in Kenya dates back to 1943 when a series of
commissions appointed by the colonial government recommended its establishment.
Notable among these was the Peterson Commission. Probation services in Kenya today
owes its origins from Britain when the probation ordinance was passed in 1943. Its actual
commencement in Kenya was in 1946. In its formative stages, it was confined to Nairobi
and predominantly dealt with juveniles and women offender; administratively, the
department has over the years been under different ministries. Now it is in the Ministry of
Interior and coordination of National Government. The services of the department have
grown and expanded tremendously over the years to the initial coverage of the capital
Nairobi.
The department has a presence all over the country at all court stations owing to this
growth and expansion, more Government programs have been added to its operation The
services are delivered through the headquarters in Nairobi, provinces, districts, division,
courts, penal institutions and communities.
Probation officers rehabilitate those given community sentences and those received from
penal institutions. They also enforce the conditions of court orders and also generate presentence reports to courts for effective and fair sentencing of offenders.

15

In Kenya the probation department has the legal mandate to carry out the following tasks;
1.To conduct social inquiries and provide reports to courts and other penal review boards
which include; pre-sentence report for assessing offender suitability for a specific
sentence disposal and also carries appropriate remedial actions necessary to forestall reoffending; A pre-Release report where the probation officer has to provide the holding
authority with information regarding the home conditions of the inmate and this involves
gathering basic offender information, interviewing the offender at his/her home, place of
work, victims of the offence, community members and any relevant institution, Assessing
aggravating circumstances, compiling the report and submitting it to courts and other
penal institutions and currently the probation officers are involved in generation of prebail reports for purposes of bond terms.
2. Supervision of non-custodial court orders under relevant Act which involves discussing
the order with the offender, drawing individual treatment plan providing regular progress
reports and this brings on board the services of the volunteer probation officers in turn
protecting the community.
3. Rehabilitation and Re-integration of offenders: in this case the probation officer carries
out offender needs assessment to enable the development of a plan that attends to the
specific needs of the offender achieved through guidance and counselling and also may
refer to other rehabilitation agencies and also the officer is required to provide regular
progress reports on post release offender like the Ex-Borstal, Ex-prisoners and special
category criminals and their final settlement back to the community.
4. Providing temporary accommodations and empowerment for needy deserving
offenders which include paying school fees for those schools going, placing them in boys
and girls hostels where some pursue formal schooling while others undertake vocational
training and providing them with tools i.e. tailoring, barber, hair dresser, computer skills
hence cautioning the young offenders from hostile home conditions.
5. Crime Prevention .In this case probation officers engage the community including
parents, teachers students in addressing the factors that drive individuals towards
16

offending in which case the probation officers have to come up with specific social
models of crime reduction within their area of jurisdiction addressing issues revolving on
drugs and substance misuse and support for awareness on gender based violence and its
reduction.

3.2.2 Familiarization phase.
On the beginning of my attachment in Igembe probation department, the sub county head

supervisor. He then introduced me to the other probation officers and the court staff at the
Mau Law Courts.
3.2.3 Work station.
Igembe probation and aftercare services office is situated at the central business district of
Maua town Meru County. Its surrounded by other government offices and all other

3.2.7 Mentoring situations.
Interacted with many professionals, probations officers, paralegals. Lawyers,
Accountant .All these professionals mentored my career positively.
42
4.0. IMPACT OF INTERNSHIP.

The core business of the attachment period was to gain experience and skills in various
fields. Having been attached to probation, I gained a vast of experience, skills and
qualifications.
4.0.1Social conditions
Being a local resident in the area, I understood the social aspects of the clients, their
culture, the mother tongue, social beliefs, political and religious aspects, I served them
better that the other employees who were not locals and could not handle clients who did
not understand Swahili or English. The mentoring situation was good since I interacted
with all the officers and asked questions where necessary.
4.0.2 Evaluation of the assigned tasks
On daily basis I was assigned tasks just like the fellow probation officers, after attending
court during plea-taking, we divided the tasks equally, for example if there ten
presentence report, we divide equally, went to the cells to interview the offenders and
called chiefs to collect more information of the accused. I accompanied my supervisor
every time to present reports before the court.
4.1.3
:Implication on future career planning
My attachment with the probation department greatly mentored my career choice in

future, since we worked with the police and even the directorate of criminal
investigations through the court. I would wish to join the Directorate of criminal
investigations in future.
4.1.4
Comparison of goals expectations with actual experience
My expectations were met, the experience I got was worthy of the goals of the
attachment, my goal was to understand the operations of the criminal justice system fully
of which I did during my attachment with the probation department.
43
4.1.5
Projected outcomes.
From the experiences and challenges I faced while at Igembe sub counties probation
headquarters, it provided a baseline of understanding my career as a criminologist. With
the challenges encountered during the attachment, I can derive some projects based on
the observations during the attachment, for example;
The poor conditions in the remands facility.
Corruption in the criminal justice system.
Need for forensic criminologists in Kenyan Criminal justice system.
44
CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 CHALLENGES, SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION.
5.1 Challenges encountered
The whole of my attachment period, I encountered various challenges. They include the
following;
Since Maua is a highland, there was much cold hence suffered cold flu.
Corruption in the courts and the police cells
Fewer staff at the probation office
Financial constraints
Uncooperative clients and lazy court officials who sometimes delayed cases
The prison department and the police stations delayed in ferrying offenders
bringing them to court, hence delayed reports and interviews.
5.2 Summary.
During the eleven weeks at the department, I gained a handful of experience. I
understood the penal code and practically exercised .I was able to appreciate the
operation of the criminal justice system, its linkage to other stakeholders and the role of
various stakeholders in despension of justice.
I interacted with all kinds of clients, illiterate and literate, I observed that most of the
Kenyans do not understand how the CJS works, their rights during court proceedings.
I learnt and understood all about probation and aftercare services, its major role in the
community and how it helps lives of many Kenyans positively, instead of being in jail,
they are released on community service orders and works for the benefits of the
community and the country as a whole.
During the quantification of the CSO of programs, we had many offenders working under
the CSO program, we quantified their labor during the annual CSO program meeting,
they save the institutions a lot of money if they had to be paid for their labor.
45
5.3 Conclusion.
In conclusion being attached at this station, was a great exposure to my career. I acquired
a handful of experience that is relevant to my course, understanding how the criminal
justice operates, familiarizing with the penal code as taught in criminal law and
practically engaging in the criminal justice system.
As I conclude also I would like to thank the management for giving me the precious
opportunity to be attached in the organization. The attachment added immense value to
my career choices, I actively interacted with the three major criminal justice stakeholders
and hence had a chance to experience and make an informed choice in future.
Lastly criminologists can work in any of the three criminal justice system, the court under
which the probation department operates, the police and the correctional services. I would
advise other students to be attached in the probation department since it directly interacts
with all the criminal justice system. For example with the police, probation officers goes
to police station to interview offenders who the courts refers for either pre-bail or presentence reports. With the corrections service, probation department is involved in
decongestion activities in prisons each year. With the courts, probation operates under the
directive of the court.
