QUESTION 1
1.1 Give a brief definition of unit management with relevant examples in the
correctional centre setup. (5)
A technique for managing inmates in groups is unit management. It offers the
framework for robust, efficient, and direct oversight. The division of the prison into
manageable groups is made possible by this strategy. Additionally, the division of the
young offenders into manageable groups enables efficient monitoring and regular
staff prisoner interaction. Teams of case workers, social workers, psychologists,
educators, and religious employees provide services to each unit. Individual team
members are assigned responsibility for security and prisoner development outcomes
under a multidisciplinary team approach. Because of this, employees can be used more
freely.
1.2 Case management is based on the acknowledgement that inmates have the
potential to develop into law-abiding citizens after reintegration into the
society. What steps would you take in practice to fulfil the purpose and
objectives of case management? Motivate your answer. (10)
South Africa is becoming more involved in restorative justice and employing restorative
justice approaches such as diversion from the criminal court system, family group
conferencing, and community service. It is vital to investigate community service in
terms of its contribution to rehabilitation. Community service is productive work related
to the goal of reforming offenders' offending behavior for the benefit of the impacted
communities. Depending on the nature of the offense, it could entail tasks such as
equipment repairs, aging home maintenance, upkeep, repair, and other maintenance
jobs. Community service projects frequently improve conditions for the least fortunate in
communities. Restorative community service allows the offender to make restitution to
the community in a way that the community values. When offenders use their
community service experience to form new, constructive ties with people of the
community, the fabric of the community is strengthened. The procedure also
strengthens the offender's commitment to the community. Successful community
service contributes to the offender's good perception of the community. Members of the
community and the offender recognise the offender's ability to contribute to the overall
well-being of the community. Community service must be meaningful to both the
, community and the criminal who performs it. Whenever possible, crime victims should
be asked about what specific type of community service the offender should perform
(i.e., their choice of a particular charity, church, or agency that is important to them)
1.3 Identify the categories of inmates that are classified under special needs. (5)
Female offenders.
Youth offenders.
Suicidal inmates.
Inmates with psychological disorders.
Inmates with mental disabilities.
Inmates with physical disabilities.
Inmates who self-mutilate.
1.4 The basic principles of security are more important in the application and
management of risks. How will you apply the relevant security principles as part
of security management? Where possible, provide examples of the application of
each principle as they exist in practice. (15)
Reflection of weaknesses: to reflect on the weaknesses of security, the
organisation has to do risk assessments and evaluate their finding by
implementing corrective safety measure, for example using encryptions to protect
information.
Reporting: Incident reporting allows the organisation to demonstrate that it takes
security seriously and has taken precautions. If a breach notice is required, a
reporting system should enable an organisation to accept information from a
suspected breach and output it to create a report.
Detection and delay: If deterrence measures fail, security services must be
notified immediately that an attack has commenced. An intruder can be identified
in instances where authorized employees are already present by the lack of an
RFID tag, or increasingly by facial or gait recognition technologies. Making an
attack as tough as feasible should be the following stage. This allows personnel,
residents, and emergency services more time to react, respond, and, if required,
leave the area. Again, entrance control works well here, offering a barrier to entry
or a safe escape route for the attacker.
Deflection: Deflection is the measure of reducing risk by creating circumstances
that direct criminals to less critical objects or redirects the motivational causes
into non-criminal means of expression. Security deflection provides an excellent
way to expose hidden snoops and misdirect their actions toward phony or decoy
data.
Control: Management controls are measures made to manage the system's
development, maintenance, and use, such as system-specific policies,
procedures, and behavioural standards, individual roles and duties, individual
