• No human capacity to deliver SRAC programmes• Insufficient budget. • Inadequate and insufficient facilities for SRAC
programmes or limited for member use only.• Organisational culture not yet conducive to deliver
programmes and services on development.• The collapsed regions limit participation of offenders
because the individual provinces have to choose one representative for the region during National Events.
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
• Fully fledged establishment needed up to Correctional Centre level.
• Appropriate and sufficient budget needed• Facilities to be upgraded and / or established and made
accessible to offenders• Area commissioner could appoint members from co operate
services components to assist SRAC as an interim measure• During national events representation from the collapsed
regions should be considered along provincial lines.
• Development and Care programmes need to be included in
Structured Day Programme of Centres.• The personal development of offenders should be included in
performance agreement of Heads of Correctional Centres.
