I served 15yrs at this Leeuwkop maximum, I obtained my matric here, 3yrs national diploma in HR as well as BA in philosophy, politics and economics through Unisa
I was released in 2012, September and since then I never looked back
@@sollynkgalabimankga6012 what were you charge with
Am inspired by your testimony many people think prison is a walk at Zoolake
I ONCE LISTENED TO YOUR STORY ON UNPACKED ITS TRULY INSPIRING

Never judge until u find urself visiting ur loved once life happens 😢😢😢
They must build more prisons.
Instead of stealing from the treasury-they should have built more prisons
it's great to see the DCS portraying such an active role in the holistic indictment of otherwise unproductive individuals. Great initiatives. I'm proud to pay my taxes and contribute towards such actions. I employ mostly ex inmates and I don't regret it.

Let's pray for my uncle. He must come out save and I know he is already rehabilitated. God bless him.
What did he do?
@@NashPaul. rape
Free training ,but the law abiding ppl can't afford to send their kids for any training ,what a mess
Damn… that’s actually a really good and insightful point. It’s a catch 22 really. I mean you HAVE to have hope that prisoners won’t come out worse or equal to when they went in.. so free training needs to be accessible. But what to do about the other law abiding citizens…?!
Not scary at all come do a video on Poolsmoor
Opportunities given to convicted criminals yet innocent children and struggling civilians are neglected. Where is the justice in that? South africa is so corrupt
True
not everyone in jail is a bad person and it's their right!!!
@@sauci_andi8660 majority are🤣. And the "good ones" still committed crimes, no matter how small or petty, it's still crimes.
"It's their right". What type of nonsense is that. Sends the wrong message. You go to prison to get privileges you wouldn't get for being an honourable citizen😆. Even when they get out, who's going to want to hire a convicted felon????
Yet it is very inhumane for us to not give people a second chance. Many of those people are there because poverty lead them to it and giving them a second chance is the best we can do for them.
poverty is not an excuse to make crime.when i was growing up i was also in poverty but I've never committed any crime to survive .so stop condoning nonsense
This is sad 😭 Hade bafethu
Its called Correctional Service Centre coz its supposed to correct people. It does correct other and also makes others worst. We know how bad crime can be but look at that boy, u mean he must die there or serve his time without any education or skills? Then he gets out years later without anything what are the chances he will do crime again to get a living, 99%. So why can't they study n get skills. Let's not be heartless n dumb like they were adawise we no different to them.
Themba Shabalala Thank you.
Themba I love this statement of yours. Can we have you as president that has a brain and common sense 👍👍
16years in,5years into his sentence 😰 awaiting trial the whole 11 years.
welcome to south africa
He should be given them time off
don't they give them time off based on the number of years he has already served while awaiting trial
@@takalanimathagu7040 not in SA last i checked, your sentence starts once you been found guilty.
@@takalanimathagu7040 They do. It gets added to the sentence.
What a difference between this prison & the Kgosi Mampuru prison, which is in a terrible state of disrepair along with many hazards such as leaking water right beside electrical wires, this place is a haven compared to it!! I live in South Africa & have driven by this prison many times & always wondered how it was on the inside, now I know!
@Tara_P_Rose
This is a haven? You got life too easy is why you can talk like this, u need to go live in there and we'll see if you'll be singing the same tune
Lil don't wanna join Gangster-Gangster, funny however sad reality. i wish him all the best.

I have to wonder when a criminal in prison says 'I'm rehabilitated'🤔. Why is the govt not sorting out the gangsterism it makes them not rehabilitable. It's a way of saying continue your criminality behind bars.
Somw of them have belts on. Big mistake, with a belt you can strangle someone or tie the belts together to form a rope. I live near this prison in kyalami and the entrance is wide open it just has a boom and a few guards and the one guard tower has a smashed window.
“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.” Fyodor Dostoevsky While SA is supposed to have a developed economy-it has the largest prison population in Afrika-billionaire politicians with gross INEQUALITIES-THE POLITICAL CHANGE WAS all about making a few people rich.
South Africa law says you will be offered a free education, free housing, free food and degree when you commit a crime and get sentenced. Without jail no free education and no benefits lol
Execution will surely sort the overcrowding out??? Just shout if you need volunteers.
Lol
Uyislima
To be executed? 🤭
Please be a real men once being released and do not do anything illegally like taking down the government.
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂there were being stupid
Why are they speaking as if you really learn anything in prison? All you learn is sleeping with 1 eye open, stabbing for survival and remembering to never ever drop the soap!
Good change/words from ex Boeremag commando
Free legend Radovan Krejcir
02:51 who else so tht tooth brush as a weapon
Do you still want to overthrow the ANC government
Are you saying there is no rehabilitation in prison that is bad
1:15 what the hell is a "cowntree"?🤣🤣
hahahahah
South African political dialect
Its a cown under a tree
They had all the space, freedom and sunshine but opted to abuse thus deserve what they are going thru....
Some are falsely accused convicts.
Apartheid is certainly a factor worth discussing when it comes to speculating on their reasoning for choosing crime.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior Not just 'some', but many.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior I wanted to know if you falsely accused then hoe does that happen. Are there no proof or eye witnesses that come forward in court. This is so sad. I guess it's better to stay away from bad crowds because you could be part of a group but your friend does the crime but you get arrested
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior how do you get falsely accused for something you didn't do ?
Release DEVINE LIGHT!
Wait he been lock up since 2002 and he only been book for 5 years

I’m very scared of this place
To reducing this. People the must see how they family comes for a person.
And including their qualification.
I'm stuck on the commissioner eyebrows
I see those prisoners are busy making good materialistic things but at the same time I also smell corruption, looting by those who are in power to be specific.

Some are really rehabilitated
believe me they're not wait until they're out jeez..you cant even exchange words with them they keep on reminding us on how massive they are since they're former prisoners that we should always feel fear towards them whenever they're around. These idiots never changes am telling you
Now they are you tube celebrities...wheres the victims of these criminals ....how to become famous in SA...
which professional teaching inmates in prison , pure lie cos prison assists by other prisons and even warders help by prisons to on their studies
What are you thinking they deserve that
African don't abuse the laws of gangsters like in poolsmoor Cape town, but all the numbers created by po a black man.
This is fake, a sweet version of a prison. A prison will never be a cool place.
Besides the rapes it doesn't look like a bad place.
This prison allows the belts and shoe laces?
Yes, it's only people who are not yet convicted who can not be allowed to wear belts and laces
That's good they can learn

Prison is not meant to be a school those people committed crime they have to pay for what they did
Malinga Ndlovu unless the purpose of prison is to create greater criminals then let those who want to make law abiding and productive plans for their lives outside do so. In fact...they should have online courses do they can graduate with papers that are not stigmatized prison degrees. If you do not get it watch Les Miserables it something
Most of them the must give them a chance true their own qualification.
And true their own family's.
Because this people are not easily to changing our self. It's depends on a person.
Not simply about to realise a person who can bring more problems.
I don't agree to your thinking
Yes they must pay for the crime's but it's also important to help them and change to be a better person so when they leave the prison they don't go back they pick them selves up and have a new life most of these people that go back to prison is because they refused to be help and to be a better person so I think what they are doing is good
