UNISA Corrections Management Professor disputes report that 28,000 parolees are untraceable

An investigative report by amaBhungane has revealed that nearly 28,000 parolees are untraceable in South Africa.

This crisis highlights a severe breakdown in community corrections, as massive caseloads for monitors and a lack of integrated databases between the South African Police Service (SAPS) and Department of Correctional Services (DCS) leave communities vulnerable.
