Ithubalami: my rehabilitation path to new beginnings is a documentary documents the offender rehabilitation programme of the Department of Correctional Services. 22 Years into freedom and democracy, the South African correctional system has been transformed from prisons to corrections, where human rights and dignity are recognised and valued.
Through in-depth discussions with various role players, Ithubalami brings to the fore the thrust of offender rehabilitation and showcases correctional centres as places of new beginnings where education and skills development are the cornerstone of Corrections.
Ithubalami further addresses social issues such as poverty, crime and unemployment amongst offender communities released on parole. Additionally, the documentary examines the interventions put in place to increase the chances of employment and reintegration of released offenders.
