The National Institute for Crime
prevention and the Reintegration of Offenders says more prison riots may be
expected in South Africa .
Nicro Communications and Marketing
Manager Jacques Sibomane said riots can not be at any point justified, but the
context can be understood and the conditions giving rise to it fully
comprehend.
Sibomane said the conditions that
prisoners in the country live under are not conducive at all.
This comes after riots erupted at
Groenpunt Maximum Security Prison on Monday, it is alleged that the prisoners
were demanding for some wardens to be changed.
This left about 50 prisoners injured
and some prison officials also injured.
