The research was necessitated by a fundamental need to change the way in which South Africa deals with sentenced inmates. The country boasts on of the highest international recidivism rates. Instead of being a revolving door where the shorter-term offenders circulate through the correctional system, or a warehouse where serious offenders are subjected to monotonous empty hours for a lifetime, all correctional systems should actively and meaningfully address recidivism. This means that correctional intervention must contribute to inmate empowerment, resulting in a life without crime."
