Prison overcrowding in the South African correctional services: a penological perspectiveShabangu, Kosabo Isaac 30 November 2006 (has links)
Incarceration of offenders has been relied upon as the dominant sentence option through the years to address the objectives of punishment.
Research has shown that the above-mentioned approach does not match the current lifestyle anymore. Correctional centres (prisons) not only in South Africa, but across the board are faced with the same challenge.
This is of course not a problem of the Department of Correctional Services alone, but that of the entire justice system. It is therefore obligatory for Justice to join hands with society in accordance with the White Paper on Corrections in South Africa (2005:63-68).
Playing a major role in all above-mentioned bodies is Parliament, without which the whole justice system would not exist, let alone functioning.
The victims of crime would most probably not condone any soft approach towards treating offenders, worse with alleviating overpopulation by releasing inmates from correctional centres.
It is the researcher's submission that the effects of overpopulation coupled with inmate's human rights, as entrenched in the Constitution becomes the major driving force to address overcrowding in our correctional centres. / Penelogy / (M.A. (Penelogy))

Parole supervision : a penological perspectiveNxumalo, Thamsanqa Elisha 11 1900 (has links)
The purpose of Parole Supervision is in twofold, namely:
... The successful reintegration of the offender to the community; and
... The protection of the community against further criminal behaviour by
parolees.
The Department of Correctional Services endeavours to achieve the above
mentioned objectives through stringent placement criteria and individualized parole
conditions, and intensive supervision by surveillance officials of community
corrections and volunteers. / Penology / M.A. (Penology)

Die invloed van korrektiewe dissipline op die rehabilitasie van oortredersVan der Westhuizen, Barend Marthinus 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / This research project was undertaken to establish what influence
the lack of discipline amongst prisoners and members of
Correctional Services has on the rehabilitation of offenders. A
complete literature study was done to investigate the current lack
of discipline amongst prisoners and members. Discipline is also
brought into relationship with community based sentences such
as Correctional Supervision as well as the involvement of the
community in the release of prisoners. Positive rehabilitation can lead to crime prevention but the Department of Correctional Services and the community will have to take hands to reach this common goal.
This subject needs further research in order to make recommendations to promote rehabilitation of off enders and to uplift the standard of discipline within the Department of Correctional Services. / Hierdie ondersoek is onderneem om die invloed van gevangenes en personeeldissipline binne die Departement Korrektiewe Dienste in verband te bring met die invloed wat dit het op die rehabilitasie van oortreders. 'n Volledige literatuurstudie is gedoen om die huidige tendens van swak dissipline onder gevangenes sowel as lede te ondersoek. Die dissipline word ook in verband gebring met gemeenskapgebaseerde vonnisse soos byvoorbeeld Korrektiewe toesig sowel as die betrokkenheid van die gemeenskap by die vrylating van oortreders. Positiewe rehabilitasie kan lei tot misdaadvoorkoming, maar dan sal die Departement Korrektiewe Dienste en die gemeenskap moet hande vat om hierdie gemeenskaplike doel te bereik.

Life imprisonment in penological perspectiveHlongwane, Amon Lemmy 11 1900 (has links)
The inmates who are serving life imprisonment are provided with the treatment programmes throughout their incarceration period until they are released from custody. In addition, they are afforded with their primary and secondary needs in prisons. Before the lifers are released from prison, pre-release programmes are presented to them in order to facilitate their reintegration process into the community. After the
lifers are released from prisons on parole, the community corrections offices further facilitate their reintegration process into the community. / Penology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Penology)

Vergelykende penologiese ondersoek rakende korrektiewebeleid en wetgewingDe Villiers, Elizabeth Ann 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans with summaries in Afrikaans and English, and English title page / This thesis is an attempt to give a penological evaluation relating to A comparative
penological investigaion regarding Correctional Policy and Legislation, which is the aim
of this research.
This penological literature study will focus on an historic overview of the prison as an
institution for punishment. Besides the historical background of the South African
prison system it is also thereby placed on the policy and legislation of countries such
as the Netherland's and England's prison institutions. After the implementing of policy
and legislation in the prison systems the basis for an improved prison system was
formed.
Important core understandings of policy and the application of lawful prescriptions were
checked and the different levels of the policy were included in the South African
correctional system. Features of the policy and legislation were continually adapted
after the changing needs and circumstances on social, economic and political
environments. Consequently indicating in this comparative penological investigation
it has come to the conclusion that no penalty institution can function normally and
efficiently without a well-considered policy and legislation. It has been found that the
formulation and implementation of the policy and prescriptions are an important part of
the planning process of the correctional system.
Rational for the search for correctional policy and legislation are mainly examined in
South Africa and consequently it was to identify the respective policy and lawful
prescriptions. It was contracted against the background of the maintenance and
protection of a just, peaceful and safe society as the Law enforces verdicts of courts to
imposed, charge like all captive sentence safe conservation to while their human dignity
is assured and same time around the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, No 108 of 1996. This Act was also promoting the social responsibility and human
development of all prisoners and persons subject to community corrections.
The implementation of policy and lawful prescriptions were orderly emphasised to the
advantage or disadvantage of the captive and the prison system. This comparative
investigation gave recognisance to international principles over corrective events and
is included in a penological perspective at the same time. / Hierdie proefskrif is 'n poging om 'n teoretiese-prinsipiele uiteensetting te gee oor 'n
Vergelykende penologiese ondersoek rakende Korrektiewebeleid en Wetgewing ten
einde die doelwit van hierdie navorsing te bereik.
'n Literatuurstudie oor die historiese ontwikkeling van die gevangenis as strafinrigting
is ingestel en is gefokus op die gevangenisstelsels in Suid-Afrika, Engeland en Nederland.
Benewens hierdie historiese agtergrond is die doel om die ontwikkeling van die
strafbeleid en wetgewing in oorsese lande en in Suid-Afrika te identifiseer ten einde die
verandering binne die gevangenisstelsels te verstaan. Hierdie gebeurtenisse van
vroeer en hedendaags het die grondslag gevorm vir 'n verbeterde gevangenisstelsel.
Belangrike kernbegrippe van beleid en die toepassing van wetlike voorskrifte is
nagegaan en die verskillende vlakke van beleid wat betrekking het op die Suid-Afrikaanse
korrektiewe stelsel is omskryf. Wetgewing is as die hoogste vlak van beleid beskryf en gevolglik word beleid en wetgewing voortdurend aangepas na gelang van
veranderde behoeftes en omstandighede op maatskaplike-, ekonomiese- en politieke
terreine.
In hierdie penologiese ondersoek is aangedui dat geen strafinstelling normaal en
doeltreffend kan funksioneer sonder 'n deurdagte beleid en wetgewing nie. Daar is
aangedui dat die formulering en implementering van die beleid en voorskrifte deel is van
die beplanningsproses van die korrektiewe stelsel.
Die rasionaal van korrektiewebeleid en wetgewing is hoofsaaklik in Suid-Afrika
ondersoek en is onderskeie beleidsrigting en wetlike voorskrifte in oenskou geneem.
Oit is gedoen teen die agtergrond van die instandhouding en beskerming van 'n
regverdige, vreedsame en veilige samelewing wat deur die Wet voorgeskryf is om alle
gevangenes in veilige bewaring aan te hou terwyl hul menswaardigheid verseker word.
Dienooreenkomstig is daar uitvoering gegee aan die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, No 108 van 1996 en bevorder hierdie Wet die maatskaplike verantwoordelikheid
en die menslike ontwikkeling van aile gevangenes en persone onderworpe
aan gemeenskapskorreksies.
Die implemetering van korrektiewebeleid en wetlike voorskrifte is menigmale
beklemtoon tot voordeel of nadeel van die gevangene en die gevangenisstelsel.
Terselfdertyd is daar in hierdie vergelykende penologiese navorsing erkenning gegee
aan internasionale beginsels oor korrektiewe aangeleenthede en is dit terselfdetyd in
penologiese perspektief geplaas. / Criminology / D.Litt. et Phil. (Penology)

Uitwerking van oorbevolking binne Suid-Afrikaanse gevangenisse op die rehabilitasie van oortredersVan der Westhuizen, Barend Marthinus 30 June 2005 (has links)
In this research project the overcrowding problem in South African prisons will be analysed as well as the influence it had on the rehabilitation of offenders.
The problem of overcrowding in South Africa's prisons is very clear when the approved accommodation of a prison is compared with the actual number of prisoners incarcerated.
Prison sentences are a favoured form of punishment throughout the world. More and more people seek alternatives to incarceration in order to reduce prison overcrowding.
The time to finalize criminal cases, releases on bail, the abolishment of minimum sentences and better utilization of community based sentences are some of the issues which can reduce overcrowding.
One of the concepts that was implemented to establish rehabilitation within prisons was Unit Management. The number of prisoners incarcerated makes it difficult for Unit Management to be effective. In some cases prisoners are kept under inhumane conditions which is a violation of the Constitution of South Africa.
Currently the morale of members of Correctional Services is very low and this has an influence on the way in which they treat prisoners. These members are supposed to be an example to prisoners but instead their bad behaviour has a negative influence on prisoner's discipline.
Correctional Services goal is to make every member a rehabilitator but overcrowding will first have to be reduced. Individual attention to prisoners is one of the building blocks of Unit Management but overcrowding of prisons creates a member/prisoner ratio which is far too high to be effective with rehabilitating prisoners.
Community based sentences can also be utilized more frequently by the courts. It can better rehabilitation possibilities and through this the objectives of punishment are met. In the past the focus of South African Law was on the criminal. With the Correctional Services Act (Act 111/1998) this focus was shifted to the victim as well. Both these parties can now come together and discuss the offence as well as the influence it had on the victim. This is called restorative justice and it helps the offender with re-integration into the community. / Criminology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Penology)
