The aim of the Department of Correctional Services is to contribute to maintaining and protecting a just, peaceful and safe society by enforcing court imposed sentences, detaining inmates in safe custody while maintaining their human dignity and developing their sense of social responsibility, and promoting the general development of all inmates and persons subject to community corrections.
Purpose: Provide the administrative, management, financial, information and communication technology, research, policy coordination and good governance support functions necessary for all service delivery by the department and in support of the functions of the ministry.
Purpose: Provide safe and healthy conditions for all persons incarcerated, consistent with human dignity, in support of security for personnel and the public.
Purpose: Provide needs based correctional sentence plans and interventions, based on an assessment of the security risk and criminal profile of individuals, targeting all elements associated with offending behaviour, and focusing on the offence for which a person is sentenced to correctional supervision, remanded in a correctional centre or paroled.
Purpose: Provide needs based care programmes and services aimed at maintaining the personal wellbeing of incarcerated persons in the department's care.
Purpose: Provide needs based personal development programmes and services to all offenders.
Purpose: Provide services focused on: offenders' preparation for release; their effective supervision after release on parole and correctional supervision as well as direct sentences to correctional supervision; and the facilitation of their social reintegration into their communities.
Purpose: Physical infrastructure that supports safe and secure custody, humane conditions, and corrective services, care, development and general administration.
The Department of Correctional Services aims to contribute to maintaining and promoting a just, peaceful and safe society through correcting offending behaviour in a secure, safe and humane environment, thus facilitating optimal rehabilitation and reduced repeat offending.
In 2005, Parliament approved the White Paper on Corrections in South Africa, aimed at aligning corrections with national transformation objectives. The department intends to refine all its activities to ensure that offenders who leave correctional centres have appropriate attitudes and competencies to successfully integrate back into society as productive citizens.
The department developed strategic objectives and priorities to facilitate the implementation of the white paper. In 2006/07, six priority areas were identified: amending the Correctional Services Act (1998); implementing the occupation specific dispensation; developing infrastructure; managing human resources; implementing the seven-day establishment; and improving the delivery of health services.
In 2007/08, the department adopted a portfolio management strategy to implement the recommendations of the white paper, over the medium term and beyond. The department coordinates service delivery across programmes and projects, including priority projects, through a portfolio management process. The programmes within each portfolio will be implemented by categorising projects as short term (one to three years), medium term (three to five years) and long term (five to fifteen years).
As part of the portfolio management strategy, three major portfolios have been identified: crime prevention; infrastructural development; and organisational development.
The crime prevention portfolio aims to create an environment conducive to the restoration and promotion of corrections as a societal responsibility. It incorporates major programmes such as: the remand detention management system; the rehabilitation of inmates; safe, secure and humane conditions of incarceration; and community mobilisation. Projects for implementing the programmes include: developing a regulatory framework for remand detention management; installing an inmate tracking system; conducting a nutritional services feasibility study; and developing an integrated security technology framework.
The infrastructure development portfolio aims to promote rehabilitation through developing appropriate infrastructure and technology. It incorporates major programmes such as infrastructure development, technology strategy, and IT infrastructure. Key projects include establishing remand detention and social reintegration facilities, and procuring five public private partnership correctional centres and basic ICT infrastructure.
The organisational development portfolio aims to promote improved service delivery in the department driven by adequate resources. The portfolio includes major capacity building programmes, organisational control programmes and the master information systems plan. Some of the projects to be implemented under this portfolio include establishing a professional correctional services body, an electronic document and records management system, and a video arraignment system. The video arraignment system is a remand system that will enable the department to avoid transporting offenders to court just to have their cases postponed. It is a joint project between the Department of Justice, the South African Police Service and the Department of Correctional Services.
The amendments to the Correctional Services Act (1998) came into effect in November 2008. Key objectives of the amendments are to provide for the efficient management of correctional centres, improve security measures in the department's correctional centres, manage information, and prevent inmate escapes. The amendments will have implications for the department's spending in these areas. Other key policy developments that will impact on the department's spending plans include the management of awaiting trial detainees, correctional programmes, and policies relating to offenders with disabilities.

Expenditure grew at an average annual rate of 8.6 per cent from 2005/06 to 2008/09, and is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 13.6 per cent over the MTEF period, peaking at R18.1 billion in 2011/12.
inflation related adjustments in compensation of employees (R419.5 million, R409.7 million, and R415.
an adjustment of R1.2 billion to the 2011/12 baseline as a capital contribution to the public private partnership facilities. The Corrections programme grew at an average annual rate of 20.1 per cent between 2005/06 and 2008/09, following the implementation of the requirements of the white paper, such as correctional supervision and parole boards, case management committees, and correctional intervention and assessment teams.
The 26.8 per cent growth in total expenditure between 2010/11 and 2011/12 is mainly due to the allocation of additional funds for the construction of four new public private partnership correctional facilities at Paarl, East London, Klerksdorp and Nigel. This allocation also explains the growth of 161.4 per cent in the Facilities programme spending and 253.7 per cent in payments for capital assets in 2011/12. The increase of 80.3 per cent in machinery and equipment in 2008/09 was due to the installation of fences and television monitors at correctional facilities.
Spending on compensation of employees increased at an average annual rate of 14.3 per cent between 2005/06 and 2008/09. This was mainly due to improved conditions of service and an increase in personnel, from 36 311 in 2005/06 to 46 083 in 2008/09, to implement the recommendations of the white paper and establish the sevenday facility. Provision is made for a 5 per cent vacancy rate in 2008/09, declining to 3 per cent in 2009/10.
Savings of R187.1 million in 2009/10, R206 million in 2010/11 and R229 million in 2011/12 have been identified in goods and services and transfers to public entities. It is estimated that the department will realise savings of R720 million per year on overtime when the seven-day establishment is implemented.
Delays in the delivery of new generation correctional centres resulted in infrastructure funds being suspended from the department's capital works programme in 2006/07. The new Kimberley correctional centre, providing 3 000 bed spaces, started in 2006/07 and is set to be completed in 2009. Feasibility studies for the centres at Paarl, East London, Port Shepstone, Klerksdorp and Nigel concluded that the public private partnership option was the preferred method of procurement. The final request for proposals closed in November 2008. Allocations are accordingly made in 2011/12 as a capital contribution towards four of the centres. In addition, 1 711 more bed spaces will be created in existing facilities over the MTEF period.
Revenue grew at an average annual rate of 16.3 per cent, from R83.3 million in 2005/06 to R131.2 million in 2008/09. It is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5 per cent over the medium term, with revenue targets of R135.3 million in 2009/10, R143.4 million in 2010/11, and R152 million in 2011/12.
Revenue is mostly generated from selling products made in correctional centre workshops, hiring out offender labour, and letting official personnel accommodation. A portion of the revenue from offender labour is paid to inmates as a gratuity. The decrease in revenue from 2007/08 to 2008/09 is because rentals for department accommodation were wrongfully deducted from staff salaries in 2007/08, and staff had to be refunded.

Expenditure in this programme relates to bulk stores, IT, human resource development, procurement of vehicles, and accommodation. Bulk stores include food, medication and personal items for inmates.
Expenditure increased from R2.5 billion in 2005/06 to R3.
9.5 per cent, and is expected to rise to R4.2 billion in 2011/12, at an average annual rate of 9.5 per cent over the medium term. The higher growth over the outer years is mainly due to additional allocations for the master information systems plan (R50 million in 2008/09, R100 million in 2009/10, and R112.1 million in 2011/12).
The Property Management subprogramme accounts for funds devolved from the Department of Public Works for accommodation charges, leases and municipal services. Spending is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 14.3 per cent over the MTEF period.
The 37.6 per cent decline in Central Services expenditure between 2005/06 and 2006/07 was due to the once-off payment for IT equipment in 2005/06.
Security funds activities aimed at providing safe and healthy conditions for all incarcerated offenders, consistent with human dignity, while providing protection for personnel and security for the public. Funding is distributed according to the number of personnel attached to the programme and the daily average inmate population.
Improve the department's capacity to prevent offenders from participating in criminal activities and escaping by erecting 8 more specialised high security fences and installing biometric access control systems at 8 correctional centres by the end of 2009/10.
The safety and security enhancement project is aimed at establishing a holistic approach to security. The number of escapes and assaults has decreased as a result of fences, biometric access, improved security over the festive season (Operation Vala), and the department's zero tolerance approach to collusion and corruption by officials, among other efforts.
Escapes decreased from 7 per 10 000 inmates in 2005/06 to 5 per 10 000 inmates in 2007/08. Assaults decreased from 127 per 10 000 inmates in 2005/06 to 52 per 10 000 inmates in 2007/08. Unnatural deaths, however, increased from 30 in 2005/06 to 62 in 2007/08.
Over the MTEF period, the spending focus will be on improving public safety and internal safety and security.

Expenditure increased from R3.1 billion in 2005/06 to R4.2 billion in 2008/09 at an average annual rate of 11 per cent, and is expected to increase further over the medium term to R5 billion in 2011/12, an average annual rate of 6.4 per cent. The growth in expenditure provides for improving security in correctional facilities and implementing the seven-day establishment.
The activities of this programme are labour intensive, and expenditure in compensation of employees accounts for 96.2 per cent of the programme's budget over the medium term. As most of the correctional officials are employed in this programme, the salary increases following the 2007 Public Service Bargaining Council's resolution will continue to have a significant impact on spending.
The 64.2 per cent increase in spending on machinery and equipment in 2007/08 is due to the allocation of additional funding for the ongoing rollout of biometric access control equipment, including x-ray scanners.
Personal Corrections provides needs based correctional sentence plans and interventions based on an assessment of the security risk and criminal profile of individuals, targeting all elements associated with offending behaviour. Funding is distributed according to the number of personnel attached to the programme, and the average daily inmate population.
Address the specific rehabilitation needs of sentenced offenders by increasing the provision of correctional sentence plans to offenders serving more than 24 months from 1 400 in 2007/08 to 13 310 in 2011/12.
Create an environment that promotes the general development of sentenced offenders by reducing the level of overcrowding in departmental facilities from 42 per cent in 2005/06 to 28 per cent in 2011/12.
The 2007 unit management policy is set to improve the management of correctional centres. Training personnel to implement unit management began in 2007/08.
In 2006/07, the Department of Correctional Services started assessing and profiling offenders. The correct classification of offenders, through an improved security risk classification tool, decreased the average number of maximum offenders by 900 (3 per cent) from the second to the third quarter of 2007/08.
Offenders have been increasingly involved in work opportunities that use the skills provided through training programmes. 10 394 work opportunities were provided by other organisations and 9 780 by the department.
The video arraignment project is progressing well at St Albans and Westville correctional centres. This will reduce the risk associated with transporting inmates to court and the time taken to conclude cases.
Over the MTEF period, funding will be used to implement the offender rehabilitation plan in correctional centres and establish remand detention facilities.

Expenditure in the Corrections programme is expected to increase from R613.6 million in 2005/06 to R1.3 billion in 2011/12 at an average annual rate of 13.1 per cent. The growth is mainly due to additional allocations for implementing white paper activities over the medium term. These include the risk assessment and profiling of offenders, and running case management committees that advise the correctional supervision and parole boards. Procedures implemented at correctional centres will train staff and build institutional capacity for sentenced inmates to benefit from the proposed programmes.
The substantial growth in compensation of employees between 2005/06 and 2008/09 is due to the allocation of the supervisory personnel budget, previously provided for in other programmes. Spending on goods and services is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 24.6 per cent between 2008/09 and 2011/12, to fund the implementation of white paper correctional programmes and assessment tools, and tools for profiling inmates.
Personal Wellbeing provides needs based programmes and services aimed at maintaining the personal wellbeing of incarcerated offenders by facilitating physical fitness, social functioning, health care, and spiritual, moral and psychological wellbeing.

The partnership with People Learning and Training Online South Africa resulted in 20 officials being trained on the use of software. 1 computer based training centre became operational in August 2008. This programme supports offenders enrolled in adult basic education and training levels 2 to 4, as well as grades 10 to12.
In 2007/08, 110 educators were trained by McMillan Teacher Campus on implementing the national curriculum statement for grades 10 to 12 in correctional centres. A pilot ICT skills programme in partnership with the Shuttleworth Foundation was established in 2 correctional centres and resulted in a 100 per cent pass rate. The department intends to roll this project out to 30 correctional centres with computer based training centres in 2009/10.
Over the MTEF period, funds in this programme will be used for improving the educational and skills levels of offenders and channelling those with talent towards jobs and competitive areas of sports and arts and culture, to prepare them for reintegrating into society.

Expenditure in the Facilities programme is expected to increase from R1.6 billion in 2005/06 to R4.7 billion in 2011/12 at an average annual rate of 19.6 per cent, mainly due to the additional allocation of R2.9 billion in 2011/12 for the proposed four new public private partnership correctional facilities at Paarl, East London, Klerksdorp and Nigel. This also explains the 389.5 per cent increase in expenditure on the Public-Private Partnership Prisons subprogramme and the 253.7 cent increase in payments for capital assets in 2011/12.
The bulk of this programme's expenditure is in capital assets. This includes the provision for upgrading and renovating correctional facilities over the medium term, which will create an additional 1 711 bed spaces at existing centres. Spending in buildings and other fixed structures increased by 36.8 per cent in 2007/08 due to the additional allocation for the Kimberley correctional centre. The 98.9 per cent decline in spending on machinery and equipment in 2006/07 was due to the once-off erection of new security fences in 2005/06.
