5. REPORT ON ARV SPENDING (Cont)

• In the previous financial year (2009/10) 74.67
  of the allocated budget was spent (R10,143
  million against R13,583 million)
• Under spending of the previous financial year was
  due to the late allocation of funds to regions
  after the line item was created
• Not all regions have been allocated a budget
  under Item Inv Medi Antiretroviral drugs

  allocation of Item Inv Medi Antiretroviral drugs
  to be standardised and be under the same

13. OFFENDER LABOUR

• DCS utilise labour and skills of offenders in
  different work activities as form of skills
  development and offender empowerment
• Part of preparing offenders for successful
  reintegration into community and job market
• Population of offenders increased drastically
  - use of offenders in labour activities
  decreased
• Decrease attributed to different factors

30
CURRENT STATUS

• Department of Public Works took over maintenance
  of government buildings through specialized
  programme REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
  (RAMP)
• DCS used to maintain own buildings through
  utilization of offender labour
• Use of DPW in maintenance of correctional
  facilities led to reduction of utilization of
  offenders in day to day maintenance
• Repair and maintenance contracts divided into
  following trades
• Water and sewerage works
• Mechanical and electrical installations (boilers,
  kitchens etc.)

31
CURRENT STATUS

• Buildings and related services and civil
  infrastructure
• Civil works, roads, storm water and services
• Buildings, related services, electrical,
  mechanical installations and civil infrastructure
  (for smaller prisons)
• DCS had over years two streams of artisans
  especially at big management areas
• Building works group - strictly responsible for
  building new structures
• Maintenance group - responsible for maintenance
  of facilities up to R30 000.00 per case limit -
  anything above limit referred to DPW for funding
  and implementation

32
CURRENT STATUS

• Building and maintenance programme
• Building works team had own offender teams and
  likewise maintenance team
• Over years building works teams became depleted
  due to scarcity of work opportunities as DPW
  reluctant to approve major projects to be
  undertaken by building works teams
• In some management areas these teams were
  absorbed by the maintenance teams

33
CURRENT STATUS

• Agriculture
• DCS has 21 Correctional Centre farms and 101
  smaller vegetable production sites - cover an
  area of 40 000 hectares
• Following agricultural activities taking place at
  these correctional centre farms
• Vegetable production
• Fruit production
• Milk production
• Red meat abattoirs
• White meat abattoirs (Chicken)
• Piggeries

34
CURRENT STATUS

• Since 1984 number of farms stagnant Last
  Correctional Centre farm obtained 1983 (Glencoe)
• Limits expansion of agricultural production and
  self-sufficiency
• Of 40 000 ha - 20 885 ha designated for grazing
  and 8426 for arable land
• Production workshops
• Average offender labour (warm bodies) in
  correctional centres workshops is 1744 which
  include Wood and Steel workshops, Textile
  workshops and Bakeries
• Materials Budget for 2010/2011 is R3 853 500 for
  all the wood steel workshops. Ideal budget for
  wood and steel workshops is 47 000 000. Budget
  allocation is zero based but should be cumulative
  to accommodate increase in prices for commodities

35
CURRENT STATUS

• Availability of sufficient offender labour
• Number of offenders required to meet current
  labour need in agriculture is 6888 offenders
  average per day
• Department has managed to provide 2905 offenders
  daily on average during 2009/2010

36
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO DECREASE IN OFFENDER
LABOUR

• Lack of spans allocated due to implementation of
  2x12 hour shift system
• Shortage of security personnel (horse back, dogs,
  etc.) who can be allocated to different spans for
  security
• Low pace of acquisition of agricultural farms and
  grazing land
• Insufficient Budget allocation and agriculture
  budget not under the direct control of
  agriculture personnel
• Reduction of working hours of offenders by Heads
  of Correctional Centres
• Salary scales do not attract Artisans and
  Agriculture Technicians to DCS

37
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO DECREASE IN OFFENDER
LABOUR

• No correctional officials allocated to Artisans
  to guard offenders when they work - Artisans
  supposed to work, guard and train offenders
• Offender to official ratio will reduce to at
  least 1 Artisan for 3 offenders instead of the
  current 18 if not guarded by security staff or
  Correctional Officials
• Gratuity scale of offenders not reviewed since
  2004. Offenders not remunerated according to work
  and knowledge / training but to security
  classification
