2.1 Administration 2.1.1 The JICS is an independent office, established in terms of the Correctional Services Act (CSA) and headed by the Inspecting Judge. Section 85 (2) of the Act states that the JICS is to facilitate inspections of correctional centres in order for the Inspecting Judge to report on the treatment of inmates, and on conditions of incarceration. The JICS' vision is "to ensure that all inmates are detained under humane conditions, treated with human dignity and prepared for a dignified reintegration into the community". 2.1.2 At the end of March 2010 the JICS had a staff complement of 50, and 220 independent correctional centre visitors (ICCVs), who are independent contractors. The Correctional Services Amendment Act 25 (2008) provided for a number of amendments to the JICS' staffing and structure, including the appointment of a chief executive officer (CEO) to be appointed by the National Commissioner for Correctional Services (National Commissioner). At the time of reporting that post had however still not been created and funded on the JICS' fixed staff establishment and hence a CEO is yet to be appointed.
