The New Age reports that the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) is expected to release an investigation report into what led to the violent clashes two weeks ago at St Albans Prison in the Eastern Cape.
On 26 December 26, three people died when a brawl broke out inside the prison. The situation escalated and 13 prison warders were injured, six critically after being attacked with home-made knives and sharp objects during the brawl. It was also reported that about 20 prisoners were injured during the violent clashes. At the weekend, national commissioner of Correctional Services Zacharia Modise said he hoped to receive the report this week, but that depended on the completion of the investigation. According to Modise, the injured warders were back on duty at St Albans Prison.
