4.8.2 While it acknowledges the potential security risk when involving inmates in work activities, the Committee believes that with adequate management, inmate labour could assist in increasing the DCS' self- sufficiency, lowering some of its operational costs, particularly in those areas that are currently being outsourced. Correctional centre- based farms, factories and workshops should be utilised fully. The skills and work ethic developed through work programmes will further rehabilitation and reintegration objectives. The Committee recommends that the DCS explores the conversion of some of its centres to "centres of expertise" specialising in certain trades or agricultural activities thus enabling the optimal use of limited resources, and the more equitable distribution of work programmes.
