3.8.1 The CSPB chairperson pointed out that many inmates are paroled based on promises of support from their families, but that often such promises were not honoured, resulting in poor support which in turn results in parole violations. In addition, the CSPB was under severe pressure because it only had one chairperson and no vice-chairperson. Community members were recently appointed and this alleviated some of the pressure. Social workers are battling to meet inmates' needs and to ensure that reports are available in good time.
