3. Only 291 of the 1 246 male juveniles had been sentenced, and 742 of the 955 unsentenced male juveniles had no bail for various reasons including that they were flight risks, had committed serious crimes and were repeat offenders. The female section accommodated 64 juveniles, of whom 39 were unsentenced. As with the adult remand detainees, the unsentenced juvenile detainees did not participate in any educational, development or work programmes. Alarmingly 183 of the male juveniles had bail of less than R 1 000, and only one had bail of more than R2 000. Although the Committee is pleased that through a number of interventions introduced since Parliament's last visit in October 2007 the figures have been reduced by 15.39%, the number of juveniles still remained too high.
