    Chairperson, Minister: What is the progress in the creation of bed spaces in the correctional facilities given the challenges experienced in the past financial year?

  • Minister Of Correctional Services hansard

    Chairperson, the question by hon Horn is not related to the adjustments. It is the responsibility of the President with regard to appointments of director-generals and as he is aware, the process is ongoing. With regard to the creation of bed spaces, it is a long-term project of the department which is being done on a year- to-year basis.

    However, the challenges of overcrowding and the challenges of dealing with inmates who are coming at higher always outpace our programme of creation of new bed spaces and new facilities because properties and the creation of infrastructure is a long-term investment. The department is attending to it, albeit at a pace which will not be able to match the level of incarceration. Thank you.
