The Police, Prisons and Civil Rights Union in the Eastern Cape has blamed the Department of Correctional Services for failing to provide uniforms to prison warders.

 Many officials are forced to wear old, torn uniforms to work. Many say at times they had no choice but to ask inmates to stitch up their torn uniforms for them.


Popcru provincial chairman Loyiso Mdingi said for years this had been a problem. 

However, Eastern Cape regional commissioner Nkosinathi Breakfast said all correctional centres in the province were given an opportunity to order uniforms last year.
