8.4 The Committee believes that those unwilling to participate in education, training and work programmes should not qualify for parole. Those willing to work, and willing to attend school or training programmes, should however not be penalised for the DCS' inability to provide such opportunities. Furthermore, inmates should not be denied parole because the DCS is failing to manage its case flow, fails to provide the necessary rehabilitation and social work programmes, or fails to ensure victim participation. The DCS has a responsibility to ensure that all inmates are aware of parole requirements, and the parole process, and must play its role in ensuring that offenders have opportunity to meet these requirements.
