Namibia is participating in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional training workshop on rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates back into society without being subjected to rejection and stigma.

The Namibian Correctional Service (NCS) ensures the psychosocial well-being of its inmates irrespective of the crime committed.

NCS Assistant Commissioner Fiina Engelbrecht says the institution's facilities have different programmes in place to assist all inmates.

As temperatures continue to drop, the Nest of Love Welfare organisation has stepped in, providing warmth and hope to some of the city's most vulnerable.
