14. The Committees note the interventions to address overcrowding in Pollsmoor. There is obviously a need for more places of safety as children and juveniles released from prison cannot always go back to their homes; sometimes there are not even contact details of the families of those released, especially if their families are in rural areas or provinces other than the Western Cape. The Committees note that the Department of Social Development also serves on the intersectoral task team, referred to in 6.11 above, and are interested to receive more information on the availability of places of safety. The matter will also be raised with the Social Development Portfolio Committee and, if necessary, the Department of Social Development will also be asked to attend the briefing referred to in 6.3 above.
