Résumé
The establishment of a constitutional democracy in South Africa necessitated widespread institutional reforms across state sectors. A key feature of such reforms was the emphasis on oversight and accountability as illustrated in reform endeavours pursued in the South African Police Service, courts and prisons. One such oversight mechanism - the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS) - is the subject of this article. Drawing on qualitative interviews with people closely involved with the JICS since 1998, this article presents 'insider views' regarding the JICS. We conclude with incumbents' views on the effectiveness of the JICS.¹
