The department of correctional services cannot confirm when Janusz Waluś will be released from prison, but has outlined what parole entails.
Spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo said it is not to further punish offenders, but to assist them in living a normal life and reintegrating into society.
Those sentenced to life imprisonment after September 30 2004 cannot be paroled until they have served at least 25 years. These offenders remain on parole until death, he said.“That an offender is eligible for placement on parole under correctional supervision does not mean conditional placement will be granted automatically,” he said.
