Like true patriots, the boys have decided to celebrate international Human Rights Day with a drink up in Pub, where the conversation swiftly swings to a request made by female prisoners at Luzira, who are calling for the right to have sex with their husbands while in prison.  As expected Steve, and Johnny, have taken opposite roles in the whole debate.

Johnny: Sex in prison, what are you talking about? Let them first pay for their sins.
Steve: You are not being fair. Sometimes the hunger becomes unbearable as one sits in that cage.
Johnny: Yep but what are they doing in there in the first place? They were sent there to reform not to enjoy federo.
Steve: Now what words are you using to say they are all guilty and therefore should not enjoy conjugal rights?

Johnny: I’m sure that guilty or not they are not tourists in prison.
Steve: But by the time they plead for federo, they’ve actually reformed and can appreciate human interests.
Johnny: But this matter is not as easy as it looks, the authorities could open the prisons for conjugal rights and all sorts of chaps could start going to prison for a good time and then the ladies on Nile Avenue could stage a demonstration!

Steve: (laughing) Well, a demonstration doesn’t look like a bad thing as they could be shipped to prison to get what they are looking for on the streets.
Johnny: And then there is the issue of what time is reserved for the enjoyment of conjugal rights. Is it day or night?
Steve: That doesn’t look like a problem to me, either way they can get to enjoy their rights, as long as they don’t interfere with those who are on duty.
Johnny: Come on, have some feelings for the prison warder who has to summon these horny men to come and enjoy themselves, while she is watching to make sure everything goes according to plan. And the inmates who have to clean up after the event?

Steve: The warder would be well trained to maintain law and order in the prison so this is not a problem.
Johnny: Actually these women prisoners are more dangerous than the ones on the outside. Think for one second that with all the federo they must be missing, you could start hearing of war heroes dying in the battlefield at Namboole….then what?

Steve: Well, by the time a man summons courage to go and visit his chic in prison, he must be prepared for any eventualities. Instead, I think it’s the women who are unaware of what they are letting themselves into.
Johnny: What about the noise coming out of the theatre, wouldn’t it disrupt the attention of other prisoners?

Steve: I’m telling you it won’t disrupt anyone. The inmates have never gone on a riot because they are not being visited; instead more relatives will be encouraged to visit since they know that there is likely to be a bonus in the end.
Johnny: Bonus my foot, how is one who is not visited supposed to feel? There could also be cheers from the entire cell, when one’s name is called because they know she is going to have a great time. It is called stigma.

Steve: Cheers indeed but you are speaking like we don’t know what you sometimes do when you report back to office after lunch with a mischievous look on your face?

Johnny: It seems to me that you are advocating this because no one is going to challenge you when you go to visit an inmate in prison one of these days. Although I wonder what will happen when you arrive there to see Naka and then you see a more attractive chic? Will you pay for extra time?

The bar is engulfed in laughter as Steve struggles to argue that it is all in the patriotic spirit of International Human Rights Day!
