The purpose of the event is to familiarise the people of Thembalethu, including churches, businesses, ward councillors, schools as well as the families of probationers and parolees with the processes followed as well as the opportunities available to offenders from the moment a person is admitted to prison until release.
The parole board will explain its role before and after approving an offender's release or placement, either on parole or correctional supervision, while community corrections as a division will explain its purpose, the conditions under which parolees and probationers are placed out into the communities and the role of families and the community in the rehabilitation process.
Attendees will be able to ask questions while representatives from other government organisations will also give a short overview on the role of their departments.
