The Head of the Windhoek Correctional Facility, Oscar Kasuka, has warned against smuggling contraband within the facility, saying it poses threats such as stalking, bullying, and the risk of escape.

Kasuka said this during the launch of the Anti-Contraband Campaign in Windhoek under the theme "Say No to Smuggling Contraband".
 
The campaign, which started last month, aims to raise public awareness regarding the dangers associated with smuggling contraband into correctional facilities.

The first exchange of sentenced inmates between Namibia and Zambia took place at Katima Mulilo in the Zambezi Region.

This is part of the resolution of the Namibia/Zambia joint Permanent Commission on Defense and Security to facilitate the transfer of sentenced offenders who indicated a willingness to serve the remainder of their sentences in their home countries.

15 Zambian and six Namibian convicts sentenced to prison terms were transferred during the ceremony to serve the remainder of their sentences in their countries of origin.

The inmates of Luderitz Correctional Facility received a donation of literature to boost their rehabilitation opportunities, thanks to the RJS Foundation.

Handing over the books, the RJS Foundation's founder, Reverend Jan Scholtz, encouraged inmates to embark on a journey of reading as a lasting and educational aspect of life.

The books valued at N$2,000 include ten copies of the book titled 'Jan's Writings,' authored by Scholtz.
