Correctional Services probes disciplinary inconsistencies
Cape Argus
|March 16, 2026
THE Department of Correctional Services (DCS) is investigating claims of racism involved in disciplinary action at Goodwood Correctional Centre.
According to sources, it is alleged that a coloured dog handler was suspended pending an investigation following an incident on January 24 last year, when a prisoner reportedly injured his heel during a search operation.
Sources say the suspension was approved by the area commissioner.
Questions have reportedly arisen after another incident last month when an unconvicted prisoner and remand detainee was allegedly seen wandering around after lockdown.
He was discovered by a night-duty officer at around 6.30pm. Two wardens were on duty in the section where the alleged attempted escape took place, and it is claimed an incorrect prisoner total was reported to the head.
