Tuesday, October 14, 2025 - Media personality Mwalimu Rachel has issued a sobering reminder to Kenyans following the glitzy Miss Lang’ata Prison pageant held on Saturday, October 11th, 2025.
The event, which showcased elegantly dressed inmates
confidently walking the runway, sparked admiration online for the contestants’
beauty and poise despite their incarceration.
During her radio show, cohost DJ Xclusive praised the
participants, noting public surprise at the number of attractive women behind
bars.
“Miss Lang’ata. I just loved how, despite everything the
ladies have done, people were shocked that kuna warembo wengi sana wako
ndani,” he said.
However, Mwalimu Rachel cautioned against romanticizing
prison life based on the pageant’s polished presentation.
“Let’s celebrate them, yes - but don’t be fooled into
thinking prison isn’t harsh,” she said.
“Once the makeup is off and the uniform is back on, that
lovey-dovey stage moment fades.”
“Prison is not fun.”
The annual Miss Lang’ata Prison pageant offers inmates a
chance to express creativity, build confidence, and experience a sense of
achievement.
While the event highlights resilience and talent, Mwalimu
Rachel has emphasized the serious consequences of crime and the stark reality
of prison life beyond the spotlight.
Among past winners is Ruth Kamande, who is serving a life
sentence for stabbing her ex-boyfriend to death.
