1.3 Incarceration, even when justified and under the best possible conditions, is traumatic. That conditions in South African correctional centres barely meet minimum standards of humane detention and, in the vast majority of instances, do not promote the correction of offending behaviour, is well-known and indisputable. Because everyone has the right to freedom of movement, and, given the trauma inflicted by incarceration, even under the best conditions, the Committee remains convinced that custodial sentences should only be handed down in cases that absolutely demand it, and that only those who absolutely pose a risk to the community, or a flight risk, should be remanded in detention.
