2.3.6 In 2011/12 the JICS received 8 585 segregation notifications, more than 500 more than in the previous financial year. As in the previous year most of the referrals in terms of Section 30(7) of the CSA were received from the public-private correctional centres. The JICS identified that some correctional centres struggled to differentiate between permissible segregations as allowed by section 30, and separate accommodation of different categories of offenders (section 7). This results in inaccurate reporting. It is essential that all correctional officials fully understand their obligations in terms of the CSA, there are consequences for failure to report. Where they do not understand their obligations, and where there are no consequences for non-reporting, violations are likely to go unnoticed.
