[4 Photos] S.Africa: 63,000+ criminals to be released

Here is a shocking news story. A long time back I reported that the Govt will be releasing criminals regularly. But today they announced that the prisons are 138% over full. Now note, they've built more and newer prisons since Apartheid. There are more prisons in S.Africa now than under white rule. And there is a much larger prison population now than under white rule.

Yet, even these new prisons are not enough, and even though Govt continuously shortens sentences and releases criminals way before the time they really are due to go... there still is not enough room for them... or so Govt claims.

So Minister Balfour says he wants to release, for starters:-

13,000 criminals who cannot pay their own fines! And 50,000 "non violent" people sentenced for terms under 6 months. So that is 63,000 to start with...

Here is Correctional Services Minister, Nconde Balfour.



Here are some of our criminals lounging away in our prisons doing nothing, and being kept alive mainly by white tax payer money!
