Violent and unsanitary: Inside SA's overcrowded jails

South African jails are overcrowded, violent and unsanitary, says a

[EnduroNerd]

The way it should be. Not supposed to be a holiday.

Amazing how no one says anything about overcrowding in schools. Where some children arrive to class hungry, having slept on the floor, I could go on.

This video has a strong case of misplaced priorities. Yes, we should protect all human rights but in this case, sadly, convicted criminals are the last in line.

Some people can forget how heartless these criminals are! They must sleep on the floor if necessary

Murderers, rapists, armed robbers, pedophiles...did they care for those who's livelihoods they destroyed? did they think of the family members never seeing their loved ones again because of these "people's" actions? Yet you think these criminals deserve better living conditions? Even after doing so much damage to others they don't even deserve those beds they are sleeping on!

Have to ask... What if you was accused of a crime only, unable to pay bail, and put into holding cells only to have the case dropped. now I ask do you deserve to be there in those conditions ? just asking.

Prison is not supposed to be a nice place. If these people got there through violent crimes or theft then maybe a week or three in that place will remind them not to do it again. It should be a noose for rapists and murders.

They weren’t invited there . They came of their own doing .

Prison overcrowding is not the problem my friend

[boikanyomahasha]

This is good, prison shouldn't be nice

[peliswmankayi]

[siphomangwane]

Oscar Pissstorius they are waiting for your arrival he he.

[thegrone]

[shanelsafadien]

Thats how it should be !!! Its not a holiday house or a 5 star hotel #Fuck crime

[markieschultz]

that's their problem they should have thought about that before committing a crime...they won't get my pitty because they didn't pitty on the people's lives they ruined with murder, rape and theft...let them suffer maybe that will teach them

[renuelbooyens]

Maybe, The death penalty is a one way to go ! The people in prisons that committed murder/Rape is using our Tax money everyday. This is not supposed to be a holiday.
