The Department of
Correctional Services Minister Sibusiso Ndebele said he wants more inmates to
be skilled in agricultural production.
The department is
aiming towards self-sufficiency through the use of its 40,000 hectares of
correctional centre farm land.
Agricultural
productivity takes place on 21 correctional centre farms and 96 smaller
vegetable production sites.
Ministerial
Spokesperson Logan Maistry said as part of creating an active offender
community, offenders must work and study and leave correctional centres with a
skill in one hand and a certificate in the other hand.
To this end, more
inmates will be trained in agricultural production.
“As, Department of
Correctional Services we want to achieve self-sufficiency through our
correctional centre farms” Maistry added.
