5.2.4 Offenders expressed dissatisfaction and little faith in the JICS and its independent correctional centre visitors (ICCVs), whose independence was questioned.

These initiatives, which include the 'management' of perceptions of crime among the population and the DCS' intended activities in relation to the African Correctional Service Association (ACSA), raise concerns about the DCS leadership's priorities.
