The last of the inmates who qualify for special remission of sentences will be released on Friday.
The new Minister will be briefing the Portfolio Committee on 1 August 2012 on the special remission process.
The DA says the Department of Correctional Services must answer for the poor handling of the special remissions process that impacts the safety of ordinary South African citizens.
The DA’s Piera Abbot said a substantial amount of inmates who were already released have re-offended and are back in prison.
She further states that this points to a lack of proper preparation for their release and a hasty, make-shift pre-release programme.
