Eighty-seven female inmates, who were serving various sentences at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, celebrated their freedom yesterday after President Mnangagwa pardoned 3 000 inmates countrywide in order to decongest prisons. While the country’s prisons’ holding capacity stands at 17 000, they currently have more than 20 000 inmates. However, nine female prisoners from Chikurubi did not qualify for amnesty as they were beneficiaries of the previous amnesty, hence, they will serve their full sentences.
