Prison problems

I have often been asked why we could not do something about the situation in C-Max. Answering in a satisfactory, or a convincing, manner is not easy. One of the reasons is that prison warders are not well paid. It is not surprising that many warders choose to collect a percentage of dagga (marijuana) or tobacco coming into the prison. It’s harmless stuff anyway, they tell each other. The dagga calms the prisoners and makes them easier to handle and tobacco never turned anyone into a criminal.

And the trade has always kept Kruger in money. With the money he buys muscle and with no limitations on what he might do to those who step out of line, his authority in C-Max has been unchallenged for too long.
