The South African Paralympic sprinting champion, Oscar Pistorius, spent his first night at Kgosi Mampuru prison in the capital of Pretoria last night. Pistorius was sentenced to 5 years in prison for the accidental killing of his then model
girlfriend, Reevea Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013.
This particular prison does accomodate 128 disabled prisoners including wheelchair bound, blind, and another double amputee. A part of the defense team’s argument was the fact that the facility was not up to standard for disabled prisoners because we should be concerned with making sure that all offenders are comfortable while serving time for crimes (Offenders comfortable ? Are they for real) .
Well we gathered that Mr. Pistorius is mandated to serve at least 10 months of the 5 year sentence, which is another curious fact for me (Should a prison be a bed of Roses ?). Nevertheless, we place our trust in our elected officials, to handle the situation.
