Social media personality and comedian Mai TT believes that her time at Chikurubi Female Prison changed her life, giving her a new outlook on life and helping her reflect on her past mistakes.
Speaking during an interview with Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service’s The Bridge FM, Mai TT said her time behind bars was a humbling experience that taught her important life lessons.
She said prison gave her time to reflect on her life, relationships and the people who genuinely cared about her.
“Sometimes you need to be in a quiet place for you to see who’s for you and who’s not for you,” she said.
Mai TT also spoke about the rehabilitation programmes available to inmates, saying prison offers opportunities for women to learn practical skills that can help them after their release.
She revealed that inmates are taught skills such as sewing bags and making creams, which can help them earn a living.
She said her experience at Chikurubi was not only about losing her freedom but also about learning, changing and finding a new direction in life.
