Nel asks Vergeer if she would change her mind about the unsuitability of a prison sentence for Oscar Pistorius if it were proved that a prison could cater for a disabled individual.
No, replies Vergeer, who says Pistorius is vulnerable.
Respected South African legal consultant Amanda Dissel laid out some of the issues which have traditionally surrounded correctional supervision in a 1997 paper:
Since its introduction in all South African provinces, there has been increasing use made of this sentence. In 1995, the Department of Correctional Services had 37 000 offenders passing through this system with 80 percent successfully completing the sentence. However, correctional supervision is not without its problems. Many courts are reluctant to use this option as they do not see it as a sufficient punishment. Another problem is that many of the offenders do not live in areas which can be easily monitored. They do not have fixed addresses or employment, and so do not qualify for the sentence. Certain population groups, by virtue of their wealth and greater social stability, tend to qualify more readily for this option: more middle-class white people are being sentenced to correctional supervision than to imprisonment.

Pistorius has been enabled all his life by his family and friends plus the police ignoring things which he could have been charged for and now the court is doing it!!!! He must be punished severely for his own sake.
