7.6 Inmate labour and privileges 7.6.1 More inmates should be involved in productive activities for the greater part of the day. The Committee recognises that the legislation currently places certain limitations on the DCS as far as its ability to enforce participation in work programmes and educational programmes, and recommends that future reviews of the legislation consider these sections carefully to ensure greater productivity on the part of offenders. Increased inmate productivity will not only be of value for their rehabilitation and reduce idleness but will also assist the DCS in becoming more self-sufficient. 7.6.2 The Committee feels strongly that privileges should be well monitored and should only be granted as part of a reward system for good behaviour and possibly participation in educational and development programmes.
