By Majur Chol Khor

Akon Akuei Ajou Chiir made a shocking revelation that has reverberated across the nation. He courageously used Facebook Live to expose the disturbing reality of sexual exploitation inflicted upon female prisoners by prison officials at Juba Central Prison.

The live video has since gone viral, shedding light on the risks and consequences associated with such heinous acts. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/CY74t8gS7XkNakMm/?mibextid=qfPjYD

Akon Akuei, visibly distressed, courageously shared the sordid details of how prison warders engage in sexual activities with female inmates. She revealed that the keys to the female section of Juba Central Prison are held by male warders, who often abuse their authority by indulging in alcohol consumption and returning to the prison at their own convenience to exploit vulnerable female prisoners.

The gravity of this revelation cannot be overstated. The risk of prison officials engaging in sexual relationships with female inmates carries severe consequences, both for the victims and society at large.

Female prisoners, who are already in a vulnerable position, are subjected to further emotional and psychological trauma as a result of the sexual exploitation they endure. The power dynamics at play exacerbate the already challenging circumstances faced by these women.

Sexual encounters within the prison walls are non-consensual and tantamount to physical abuse. Female prisoners are left defenseless against the predatory actions of those in positions of authority, leading to physical harm and potential injuries.

The lack of protection and oversight in these illicit relationships increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Female prisoners are exposed to various health hazards due to the unregulated nature of these encounters.

As evidenced by Akon Akuei’s own situation, the risk of unplanned pregnancies is a significant concern. The absence of proper healthcare and support systems within the prison exacerbates the challenges faced by female prisoners who find themselves in this predicament.

The involvement of prison officials in such illicit activities erodes trust in the justice system and highlights the presence of corruption within the prison system. It raises questions about the overall safety and integrity of the correctional facilities, as well as the effectiveness of the measures in place to protect inmates.

Akon Akuei’s plea to President Kiir to address this issue underscores the urgent need for intervention. The President, as the leader of the nation, must take immediate action to investigate these claims, hold those responsible accountable, and implement reforms to prevent further abuses within the prison system.

The shocking revelation by Akon Akuei serves as a wake-up call for the authorities to prioritize the safety and well-being of all prisoners, especially vulnerable female inmates. It is imperative that steps are taken to ensure that such abuses are eradicated, and the justice system is reformed to provide a secure environment for those serving their sentences.

As the nation grapples with this disturbing news, it is crucial that society comes together to demand justice for the victims and work towards creating a prison system that upholds human rights and protects the dignity of all individuals, irrespective of their circumstances.
