13.2 The Committee is most concerned about the complaints that the system used for reclassifying offenders is open to manipulation by offenders, and that serious offenders who ought to remain classified as maximum security can therefore easily and inappropriately be reclassified as medium security. Transferring dangerous offenders to medium centres to complete their sentences exposes both offenders and officials to serious danger, and compromises security. The Committee recommends that the reclassification tool be reviewed. 13.3 The DCS should provide the Committee with a report on the investigation into the March 2011 escape from Mthatha correctional centre, and the reasons for the delay in the finalisation of the matter.
