  • The Minister of Correctional Services Pieter Groenewald said that the department needs R36 billion to build more prisons to address overcrowding.

The South African government is planning to spend R36 billion on constructing new prisons to address the overcrowding crisis in the current prison system, which is currently operating at 147% capacity. This initiative is driven by the need to improve living conditions for inmates, reduce the spread of diseases, and enhance rehabilitation efforts. The overcrowding has led to significant human rights concerns, including inadequate access to healthcare, education, and rehabilitation programs. The new facilities aim to not only increase capacity but also incorporate modern correctional practices that focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into society. The funding for this project will come from a combination of government allocations and possibly public-private partnerships, highlighting the urgency and scale of the issue within the country's criminal justice system.
