Nicro: Concern of special treatment at correctional facilities

Lusanda Bill
18 February 2014

The National Institute for Crime Prevention and the Reintergration of Offenders on Monday said the rearrest of two of the Waterkloof four has not only led to criticism regarding the behaviour of the people involved but also the so called good and comfortable conditions in prisons. 

Nicro has called for Correctional Services staff who were involved to face stiff penalities for undermining justice. 

Nicro Spokesperson Jacques Sibomana said our concern is that people who are in correctional facilities need to be all treated equally, and especially one should not be traeted better because they have money.

Sibomana said secondly it is very conercning that inmates have access to cellphones and alcohol and also allowed to use those tools while they are still serving their sentence in prison.
