5. DCS budget in Context

6. DCS Budget in Context DCS received R15 129.0 bn for 2010/11
This constitute 3.8 % of total National Budget
14% of total allocation for JCPS cluster
This is 1 % increase compared to 2009/10
Cluster received R bn which is 23.6 % of National Budget
Out of R bn an amount of R bn is for compensation of employees

7. Programme allocation ADMINISTRATION
R bn vs R bn (2009/10)
Constitute 14% increase
This is the second largest programme in terms of allocation
Takes 26.3 % of total DCS budget
It is a concern that DCS has been relying on consultant services especially under this programme

8. SECURITY Programme allocation R5 141.5 bn vs R4 960.0 bn (2009/10)
Constitute 3.66 % increase
Increase of R181.5 M (in nominal terms)
This is the largest programme in terms of allocations
Takes 34% of the total DCS budget
98% of the allocation goes to Compensation of Employees

9. Programme allocation SECURITY (Cont..)
Security still takes a huge budget of DCS despite the fact that escapes have been reduced
It seems as if DCS is putting security at the centre of departmental activities rather than rehabilitation as envisaged by the White Paper

10. LESSONS FROM THE PAST Programme allocation CORRECTIONS
R bn vs R bn (2009/10)
Constitute an increase of 27.38%
An increase of R340 M (in nominal terms)
Takes 10.5 % of the total DCS budget
Since 2006/07 this programme never took more than 10% of DCS budget

11. Programme allocation CORRECTIONS (Cont..)
99.3 % of the allocation goes to compensation of employees
Increase in expenditure is for: OSD, 7 Day establishment, and salary adjustments
DCS intends to install video postponement in 14 facilities, implement Bail Protocol, Compile Sentence Plans, and remove child remand detainees to secure care facilities.

12. Programme allocation CARE R1 504.0 bn vs R1 584.1bn (2009/10)
A decrease of 5.06%
An amount of R80.1M has been taken away from this allocation as compared to 2009/10
Takes 10% of the total allocation of DCS

13. Programme allocation CARE (Cont..)
47% of this allocation goes to compensation of employees
Increase in expenditure is for additional remuneration for health care workers in line with OSD and costs for salary adjustments

14. Programme allocation (Cont..)
Development
R526.4 M vs R438.0 M (2009/10)
Constitute 20.18% increase
An amount of R88 M added to this programme
78% of the allocation goes to compensation of employees

15. Programme allocation Development (Cont..)
Growth in expenditure is for OSD and 7 Day establishment
Budget for this programme is not in line with “putting rehabilitation at the centre of departmental activities”
Budget for Development has always been low as compared to other programmes.

16. Programme allocation Social Reintegration
R574.7 M vs R474.7 M (2009/10)
Constitute 21.7% increase
An amount of R100 M added to this programme
It takes 3.8 % of the total allocation of DCS
96.6 % goes to compensation of employees

17. Programme allocation Social Reintegration (Cont..)
Objectives in this programme include reducing parole violations through intense monitoring
Again, this is all about security rather than programmes for ex-offenders

18. Programme allocation Facilities R1 813.5 bn vs R1 658.7 bn (2009/10)
An increase of 9.33%
Takes 12 % of the total allocation of DCS
An amount of R727 M allocated to the two existing PPP prisons (2010/11)
DCS intends to complete 19 Parole Boards offices and video remand in 22 centers

19. CONCLUSION DCS budget does not priorities rehabilitation programmes
The budget continues to ignore the vision of the White Paper
70 % of the budget goes to compensation of employees, as a result we expect value for money
