JOHANNESBURG - We can't release prisoners who aren't rehabilitated.
That's according to Correctional Services Department National Commissioner, Makgothi Thobakgale.
He says offenders found with contraband will compromise their chances of being eligible for parole.
The Department of Correctional Services and SAPS officers raided the Johannesburg Correctional Services Centre on Wednesday night.
Thobakgale says more prisons identified as hotspots will be raided over the next few days.
