Suid-Afrika het die grootste gevangenes-bevolking in Afrika. Die moordsyfer skreeu ten hemele, en dit lyk nie of tronke misdadigers keer nie. Inteendeel. Hoe breek ons hierdie bose kringloop? Sommiges bepleit die herinstelling van die doodstraf. Ander maak hewig kapsie teen lyfstraf vir ligte oortredings. Maar hoe lyk ons tronke regtig? Is ons ingestel om mense te straf deur onmenslike, haglike selle? Wat moet ons doen om waarlik te rehabiliteer?


South Africa has the largest prison population in Africa. The murder rate is sky-high, and it doesn’t seem as if prisons deter criminals. Quite the opposite. How do we break this vicious cycle? Some call for the reinstatement of the death penalty. Others strongly oppose corporal punishment for minor offences. But what are our prisons really like? Are we set on punishing people with inhumane, squalid cells? What must we do to truly rehabilitate?
