3.3 Performance across programmes 3.3.1 Administration: Compliance with regard to financial and supply chain management remains a major challenge, with the DCS not meeting any of the targets it has set for itself. Though it managed to maintain a less than 50% vacancy rate in relation to scarce skills and professionals, it failed to meet any of the other targets for compliance with Human Resource policies, procedures, standards and applicable legislation. 3.3.2. Security: In an effort to improve security, the DCS intended to roll out eight additional sites with security access control and fences. This could however not be realised owing to there being no budget for this activity. This is surprising given that the security programme received a budget allocation of R4.4 billion. The DCS reported 2 240 assaults, a figure far below the 83 per 10 000 inmates targeted. 3.3.3 Corrections: The DCS failed to comply with policy, procedure, standards and legislation applicable to this programme. It further failed to implement unit management, structured day programmes and the three-meal system. The installation of video arraignment equipment and the development of remand detention tools and protocols were also not achieved. At the end of March 2009, 165 230 offenders were incarcerated in correctional centres across the country i.e. the 140% overcrowding target, maintained across centres, could not be met. 3.3.4 Care: The 2009/10 strategic plan did not reflect clear and measurable targets for the attendance of care programmes. The Annual Report however claims that 171 746 social work sessions were conducted, thus exceeding the targeted 105 sessions. In terms of psychological services, 9 494 offenders participated, against a target of 8 400 offenders. This was attributed to an increase in the number of psychologists in the period under review. 3.3.5 Development: Only 15 130 offenders participated in formal education programmes i.e. the target was not met. This failure was ascribed to the DCS not meeting the Department of Education's requirements for fulltime schools, thus resulting in a decrease in enrolments. Although the report is unclear as to whether self- sufficiency targets have been met, it does reflect that the DCS produced 1 160 748 kg of chickens, 1 543 542 dozen eggs, 6 133 467 litres of milk and 581 477 kg of red meat. It further produced 56 632 wood, 71 752 steel and 1 350 285 textile products. 3.3.6 Social Reintegration: Owing to austerity measures and capacity constraints, most of the targets related to the supervision of probationers and parolees, and compliance with policy and procedures programmes could not be met. Although the DCS continued with their monitoring of parolees and probationers, the number of parole violations increased. 3.3.7 Facilities: All regions implemented existing policies, including the Minimum Facilities Standards. Renovations and upgrading of existing facilities continued in the 2009/10 financial year: Ceres (262 additional beds); Brandvlei (346 additional beds) and Van Rhynsdorp (338 additional beds). As in earlier years, provision was made for 12 000 bed spaces via public-private partnership projects at Allandale, East London, Klerksdorp and Nigel. Provision was also made for 53 Parole Board offices of which 81.1% were completed. 11.3% are in the process of being built, while 7.5% are at the tender stage.
