Tough new measures for prison security, says Ronald Lamola

A tough, zero-tolerance approach will be adopted towards security at correctional facilities, which have been hit by a number of disturbances, justice and correctional services minister Ronald Lamola indicated at a media briefing on Wednesday.

Lamola emphasised that security controls are non-negotiable and that measures such as regular patrols, frequent searches of cells, control over objects entering prisons, as well as searches of visitors will be closely monitored by management. In June, a search of a cell at the Durban Medium B correctional facility uncovered contraband that included drugs and cellphones.
