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

included in Structured Day Programme of Centres. - The personal development of offenders should be
included in performance agreement of Heads of
Correctional Centres.
