Translation of "gereza" into English

Emmanuel akiri muri gereza, yashoboye gusaba abavandimwe bamwe ko bansura.

From his prison, Emmanuel was able to ask some brothers to visit me.

Nanjye ubwanjye narafunzwe, maze nibonera imimerere iteye ubwoba abavandimwe bari barimo muri za gereza.

I too was arrested and saw the terrible conditions the brothers were subjected to in the jails.
