5. PROGRAMMES RUN BY INMATES

8.2 PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Currently the Rustenburg Area is having 3 vacant posts for psychologists. No psychological services are presented to inmates within the Rustenburg Area. This is a serious need that has to be addressed.
8.3 RELIGIOUS CARE
Religious Care Services is available at all three Centres within our area and includes the availability of voluntary and Section 7 religious workers whom present religious care programmes during formal church services, group sessions and individual interviews to address specific problems. (The exact number of inmates involved in each of the different religious care programmes is not included in this report because the Coordinator: Religious Care is currently attending a work session).
9. CONCLUSION
With the above-mentioned information we tried to give you a view on the availability of services within the Rustenburg Area. It however needs to be mentioned that the high number of vacant posts with regard to specialised services is creating a serious problem as it is having a negative impact on the number of inmates that can be involved in Development and Care programmes.
