9. No escapes have been reported since 1997. The Centre has a control room with close circuit cameras, but these are not fully functional: the Sondolo security company had operated the control rooms, but, since the expiry of that contract, the mainframe has not been reactivated. Pending the reactivation, the control room is being manned around the clock. Though the operating contract has expired, Sondolo remains responsible for the maintenance of the security system and television cameras.
