Study Tours 6.1.4 As the Committee had not been permitted to undertake a study tour in at least two parliamentary terms, it should be treated as a priority in the in 2014-2019 term. It is advised that the incoming Committee should use the first year of its term to acquaint itself with South Africa's correctional system through consideration of the outgoing Committee's reports, introductory briefings by the DCS and JICS, and orientation workshops by correctional-services experts, as well as the Committee's content and research support. It is proposed that a study tour be prioritised as early as possible in its second year in office, so as to ensure that recommendations emanating from it may still be pursued and possibly implemented by the Committee and/or the DCS and/or JICS.
