Abstract
This thesis is about a qualitative enquiry into the restorative justice programmes offered by Phoenix Zululand (PZ) in some of the prisons in Zululand. The purpose of the thesis was to see if the work that PZ is doing inside the prisons is in line with the remarks made on restorative justice as mentioned in the White Paper on Corrections (WPOC) (2005). Although PZ is positively contributing to the rehabilitation of offenders in the prisons, the majority of their activities are not in line with the remarks made in the WPOC (2005). A better understanding of restorative justice assists us in coming up with better strategies to change the behaviour of offenders. INDATSHANA / IQOQO Lendatshana igxile ekufundeni okubheka umsebenzi wohlelo lokubuyisana okwenziwa iPhoenix Zululand kwamanye amajele aseZululand. Injongo yalomsebenzi ukubheka ukuthi umsebenzi wohlelo lokubuyisana owenziwa iPhoenix Zululand emajele uyahambisana yini nokushiwo iWhite Paper on Corrections (2005). Nakuba iPZ yenza umsebenzi omuhle ekuhlumeleliseni izimilo zabasemajele, okuningi ekwenzayo akuhambisani nokushiwo iWhite Paper on Corrections(2005). Ukuba nokuqonda okunzulu ngaloluhlelo kungasisiza ekuqhamukeni namaqhinga okuguqulwa kwezimilo zabasuke bephambene nomthetho. OPSOMMING Hierdie proefskrif is ‘n kwalitatiewe ondersoek na restoratiewe rehabilitasie programme soos aangebied deur Phoenix Zululand (PZ) in gevangenisse in Zoeloeland. Die doel van die studie was om te sien of die werk wat hulle doen in lyn is met die opmerkinge wat gemaak word oor “restoratiewe geregtigheid / herstellende geregtigheid” in die lig van die Witskrif op Korreksies (2005). Alhoewel PZ ‘n positiewe bydrae lewer ten opsigte van rehabilitasie, is die meerderheid van hulle aktiwiteite nie in lyn met die opmerkinge van die Witskrif nie. ‘n Beter verstaan van “restoratiewe geregtigheid /herstellende geregtigheid” help ons om met beter strategieë vorendag te kom om die gedrag van gevangenisse te verander.
