The Department of Correctional Services has expressed its concern over the latest violence and escapes in South African prisons. This is after the escape of 16 Remand Detainees from the Johannesburg Correctional Centre, Medium A.

The department has been in the news following the incident that took place in Goodwood Correctional Facilities, Western Cape where two wardens were stabbed to by prisoners while they were on duty.

The South African Police Services has also launched a manhunt on the escaped prisoners at the Johannesburg Correctional Services.

Department spokesperson, Singabakho Nxumalo says, “I think as a department we must be frank and say, 16 inmates escaping it does concerns us. We have launched a serious internal investigation to really find if only 16 or could be more than that and look internal operations if there is any gap, but we don’t want to speculate.”
