Behind Prison Walls: Unlocking a Safer South Africa
Authors: Edwin Cameron, Rebecca Gore, Sohela Surajpal
Format: Softcover
Since the Zuma presidency weakened crime intelligence, violent crime surged, with murder rates rising over 75%. South Africa faces severe femicide, and most murderers evade justice.
Prisons fail by perpetuating crime; harsher sentences do not help. Edwin Cameron, after visiting prisons, advocates for reform.
Along with colleagues, he suggests abolishing minimum sentences, cash bail, and decriminalizing drug use to improve safety and justice.
