Sonke Gender Justice ’thrilled’ about prisoners’ rights ruling By By Edwin Naidu Johannesburg - Sonke Gender Justice has welcomed the Constitutional Court’s confirmation of the decision of the Western Cape judiciary regarding the independence of the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS) and the rights of prisoners. “We are thrilled the Constitutional Court has confirmed the decision of the Western Cape High Court in declaring sections of the Correctional Services Act unconstitutional. “Prisons are a ‘closed’ institution that largely operate outside public eye and the independence of JICS is crucial for an oversight role to prevent abuses inside prisons,” said Kayan Leung, the Policy Development and Advocacy Manager at Sonke Gender Justice.
