Families of inmates at the Boksburg prison, east of Johannesburg, are concerned for their relatives’ safety.

Prison guards are seen firing rubber bullets at inmates in videos circulated on social media and shared with the SABC.Prisoners are also seen hurling stones at the guards. Some of the prisoners have been wounded. This man’s brother is serving a long prison term. He prefers to remain anonymous in order to protect his brother from harm. “That’s inhumane like if you are in closed-off areas you can’t tear gas and pepper sprays. And that is when I think it started to be like a mini-riot. I think they broke down the doors and they tried to force them open and then they ran out and the guards assaulted them.”Meanwhile, the Correctional Services Department says that calm has been restored to the Boksburg prison.

Marriday says that the department’s National Task Team carried out a similar operation at the Johannesburg prison last week. “They are violating their rights. They are supposed to be rehabilitated and they are supposed to be safe. But they are not being safe. Because you cannot shoot rubber bullets at an offender in the protection of their correctional services. We need to bring this to [Minister] Ronald Lamola’s attention. The Minister needs to tell us why they are doing this.”

The families of the prisoners are just being melodramatic, and they forget that their relatives are prisoners because they offended the community, and they are in prison to rehabilitate, and if they act unruly they deserve to be punished and cannot be treated with kids gloves

Why are they concerned about criminals🚮🚮🚮🚮
