Detainees: visits by judges 232. Mr D J DALLING

asked the Minister of Justice:

(1) (a) How many judges in each province made visits to detainees in 1987, (b) how many visits did each such judge make, (c) which prisons did they visit and (d) on what dates were the visits made in each case;
(2) whether he will furnish the names of the judges concerned; if not, why not; if so, what are their names?

The MINISTER OF JUSTICE:

The figure of 260 mentioned in the third paragraph of the reply is substituted by the figure 257.

(1) (a), (b), (c) and (d) and (2)

In terms of Prisons Regulation 104 (2) (a) a Judge of the Supreme Court of South Africa shall at all times be afforded admission to a prison. Judges are free to report to the Commissioner of Prisons or myself in respect of any matter which they consider should be brought to notice.

Statistics mentioning the category of prisoner that was visited are not kept and it is therefore not possible to indicate the number of judges who in each province visited detainees or any other specific category of prisoner during 1987, without a special and time-consuming survey.

The Heads of the 241 prisons under the auspices of the SA Prisons Service keep record of the fact of each visit and for this purpose an official visitors register is in use at each prison from which the Heads of Prisons submit a biannual return to Prisons Headquarters for central statistical purposes. These returns show that judges visited prisons on 257 occasions during the period 1 July 1986 to 30 June 1987.

Visits of this nature are welcomed and I have much appreciation for the work being done by the respective judges in this regard. They determine their own schedule and can also visit any prison unannounced. I am therefore not prepared to and also do not have the authority to interfere with the manner in which judges execute this task and likewise I am not prepared to announce the names of individual judges in public as these visits take place in their official capacity and the results of such visits are rather concentrated upon than the individual judges. However, I am prepared to provide the honourable member with the names on a personal and confidential basis.
