We also plan to report frequent updates on activities and duties performed along the week, as well as<\/p>\n<p>challenges we encounter and other important things we find worthy to share,\u201d Phamotse stated. The Deputy Commissioner indicated that worldwide correctional services are formed from five pillars of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first pillar ensures to stop criminal activities by locking up the law<\/p>\n<p>breakers with the purpose of correcting their behavior so that they would go back to reintegrate with the community as developed, skillful citizens. In the<\/p>\n<p>process of keeping them into our institution, we are keeping in mind that parties that have been affected (hurt) mentally in the criminal activities heal, that the law breakers repent from their criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>All this duties we do with the aim of keeping the public safe and secure, we restore good relations that have been destroyed by criminal activities, we work towards<\/p>\n<p>healing wounds that could be physical or internal. Mostly we nurse wounds that are social and emotional and it is our duty to repair these wounds,\u201d Phamotse<\/p>\n<p>stated. He highlighted on the laws governing their institution, saying they were previously called Lesotho Prison Service then in 2004 they changed to Lesotho Correctional Service in accordance<\/p>\n<p>with the 5th amendment of the Constitution of Lesotho. He extended that they face challenges that affect them enormously. \u201cWe have contagious diseases that recently have included the Covid-19 pandemic which has brought<\/p>\n<p>more challenges as we keep a large number of people in one area, the \u201cfew resources\u201d remain the other main challenge, it could be equipment used for educational purposes as well as human basic needs, a lot still needs to be done<\/p>\n<p>however, we are grateful for the renovations that have been done recently of our buildings in other districts. Nevertheless we are prepared to reach out and work together with the public for the growth of our beloved country,\u201d Phamotse noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
