“This incident serves as irrefutable evidence that privately run prisons do not work, and that it is time for the state to fulfil its own constitutional responsibility to see to prisoners’ care, rehabilitation, and security rather than attempting to outsource its duties,” he said.Makhaza added that using foreign companies to run prisons posed a “security risk for the country.”
