The committee will from tomorrow undertake a week-long visit to the Eastern and Western Cape, to assess among others:
• Skills Programmes provided to offenders,
• Conditions of detention for both remand and sentenced inmates,
• Treatment offenders who are Mothers, and,
• Overall Infrastructure of correctional centres
