The aim of this paper is to attempt a description of previous committees and boards of the Department of Correctional Services which are primarily responsible for policy formulation on correctional matters. The functions and duties of previous committees and boards are evaluated with the idea of highlighting what role they played and how the community should be involved. The issue of prisons and prisoners have been out of reach of the community in the past due to the policies of the former government. Civil society did not have any say in the running of the government institutions.

This paper describes drive-by shootings as a form of terrorism and examines how drive-by shootings, attacks on train commuters, customers at shebeens or participants in a night vigil appear to be terrorist tactics that have developed in the context of "self-help war."  It emphasises that they are highly effective, military types of attacks that require perpetrators to have reasonable information at their disposal, as well as competence in planning and the use of firearms.
