    (International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS), 2025-06) Yusuf Kaitopok; Resila Atieno Onyango; Cliff Obwogi
    This study examined the role of rehabilitation programs in supporting the post-release reintegration of female prisoners at Lang’ata Women Prison, Kenya. Drawing on rehabilitation theory and restorative justice principles, the research uses a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys of inmates and staff (n = 198) and in-depth interviews with formerly incarcerated women and prison personnel. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Findings reveal that vocational training in tailoring, baking, and ICT provides valuable skills for employment. Psychosocial interventions, such as counselling and maternal care, improve emotional resilience, while enhanced healthcare and nutrition support physical wellbeing. However, many women face significant reintegration challenges due to the lack of transitional housing, limited employment linkages, and community stigma. These systemic gaps undermine the sustainability of rehabilitation outcomes and increase the risk of recidivism. The study recommends establishing a structured “Continuum of Care” framework that includes halfway houses, partnerships with employers, micro enterprise support, and community reintegration initiatives. Institutionalizing these components can bridge the gap between prison rehabilitation and successful reintegration, reduce repeat offenses, and strengthen Kenya’s correctional justice system in line with restorative justice goals.

    The Intersection of Migration Management and National Security: A Comprehensive Analysis
    (International Journal of Research and Innovation in Applied Science (IJRIAS), 2025-06) Murimiri Mathai Kaburia; Cliff Obwogi
    The study investigates how migration management and national security operate together specifically regarding Kenyan inbound and outbound migration patterns. The research evaluates how migration processes between different borders and forced movements affect both security stability within territories alongside standard regional stability levels. The research employs mixed data collection methods to evaluate governmental and community-based security expert data which specifically focuses on areas along borders and densely populated regions with high migrant activity. Risks stemming from both Somali and South Sudanese refugees entering/hosting countries as well as labor-intensive migration to Gulf Cooperation Council member states have emerged as major national security problems according to research results. According to the research border communities experience the most severe security consequences among bordering regions. Research supports the integration of security measures with humanitarian aspects for migration governance through the establishment of regional cooperation programs and policies that protect migrant rights. Recommendations to improve border security and enhance protection of migrants and develop migration-affected areas promote social stability and national security.
