Management of change in the open prison system
Abstract
Prisons in Zimbabwe are undergoing a phase of change. This is a change from the traditional way of dealing with prisoners to a more democratic way, the open prison system. The great concern here is to understand what the motive of those who want to change is and how effective this is going to be. The traditional prison system has not existed up to now as an independent entity. It has existed with the assistance of sponsoring bodies offering financial and technical assistance.
