4.5 Care, Development, Rehabilitation and Reintegration programmes 4.5.1 The DCS is experiencing a severe shortage of staff that play key roles in rehabilitation efforts i.e social workers, psychologists, educators and artisans to run vocational workshops, teach inmates etc. The continued small budget allocations to the rehabilitation, care and development, and reintegration programmes further jeopardise successful roll out of rehabilitation efforts. As recommended in previous reports on the DCS' budge , the budget must be aligned with its rehabilitation and reintegration objectives. The DCS must reconsider and increase its targets for developmental interventions and make the requisite allocations to its Care and Development, Social Reintegration and Corrections programmes. These programmes are integral to the reduction of recidivism, which is the only measure for determining the DCS' success in "correcting" offending behaviour and rehabilitating offenders.
