Poor Oscar, is going to be all frightened and scared by the nasties of prison...- best he just get house arrest...wtf!
Fcck him. He should be popular in prison. Perfect blow job height.
 
Dude, that's harsh :/
Which bit? The prison sex reference? Maybe but, let's face it, he's unlikely to do much time if any. I don't mind if he suffers a bit if he does get a little time.
 
JUDGES VISIT PRISONS: WITNESS

Magistrates and judges go to prisons around the country and have access to inmates, the High Court in Pretoria heard on Thursday.

"My Lady, judges and magistrates have access to any correctional service facility. They can interview any inmate," acting national commissioner of correctional services Zach Modise said.

"Even the judges in the Constitutional Court visit our facilities."

Modise was the second witness prosecutor Gerrie Nel called in aggravation of sentencing after law graduate Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead by Oscar Pistorius in his home on February 14, last year.

As Modise spoke, Steenkamp's father Barry briefly looked at Pistorius, who sat writing, with his head down.

Modise said judges and magistrates talk to inmates, take complaints from them and deal with the complaints.

When a new prisoner goes to jail, the person gets assessed in a period of 21 days to determine how and where to accommodate them, he said. They took social, psychological and health needs into account.

He said there are people who had different "vulnerabilities" and they had to ensure these vulnerabilities are not exploited.

On September 12, Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicide for the Valentine's Day 2013, shooting of his girlfriend Steenkamp in his Pretoria townhouse. The court found him not guilty of murdering Steenkamp. Pistorius shot Steenkamp through the locked door of the toilet, apparently thinking she was an intruder about to emerge and attack him. She was hit in the hip, arm, and head.

Pistorius was found guilty of firing a pistol under a table at Tasha's restaurant in Johannesburg in January 2013. He was found not guilty of shooting through the open sunroof of a car in Modderfontein on September 30, 2012, and of illegal possession of ammunition.

NEL DEALS WITH PRISON CONCERNS

Paralympian Oscar Pistorius would not have his prostheses taken away in jail and could use his own doctor, the High Court in Pretoria heard on Thursday.

"The registered nurse will report any medical assistance device in possession of the offender," prosecutor Gerrie Nel read from documentation.

"Such devices may not be removed without the instruction of the medical attending," he continued.

"That is correct My Lady," acting national correctional services commissioner Zach Modise replied.

Modise was testifying in aggravation of sentencing for Pistorius, found guilty last month of the culpable homicide of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Nel was dealing with concerns raised by testimony for the defence that there were not adequate facilities in prison for disabled prisons, and that Pistorius would not be safe.

Modise said within six hours of admission to a prison a health assessment would be carried out on an offender.

Within 21 days there would be a "complete assessment" of a prisoner's needs. This would be used to compile a "sentence plan".

Modise said a prisoner could use his own doctor but would have to pay out of his own pocket.

On September 12 Judge Thokozile Masipa found Pistorius guilty of the culpable homicide of model and law graduate Steenkamp, but not guilty of her murder. Pistorius had claimed he thought there was a burglar in his toilet when he fired four shots through the locked door in the early hours of February 14 last year, killing Steenkamp.

Masipa found Pistorius guilty of discharging a firearm in public, when he shot from his friend Darren Fresco's Glock pistol under a table at Tasha's restaurant in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, in January 2013.

Pistorius was found not guilty on two firearms-related charges -- illegal possession of ammunition, and shooting through the sunroof of a car with his 9mm pistol while driving with friends in Modderfontein on September 30, 2012.

Jesus Roux is grasping at straws. This witness is good.
 
THREATS AGAINST OSCAR: LAWYER

Since the start of Oscar Pistorius's trial, there have been threats against his life, the High Court in Pretoria heard on Thursday.

"There were threats against Mr Pistorius. Don't they bring this to your attention?" Barry Roux, for Pistorius asked acting national commissioner of correctional services Zach Modise.

Modise said he was not aware of threats and none of them had been brought to his attention.

Roux said there were various media reports where an inmate threatened Pistorius after he shot dead his law graduate girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

On March 5, Pretoria News reported that leader of the 26s prison gang Khalil Subjee, said that should Pistorius be convicted and jailed for Steenkamp's death, his wealth would not buy him a lavish prison lifestyle -- instead he would "be taken out".

Speaking from a prison call box Subjee, 47, said: "If he thinks he is going to come here and buy his way to get computers and cellphones and a lavish lifestyle, he must know that will never happen for as long as I am around," said the man who claims to control all the inland prisons.

Subjee stabbed Chris Hani's killer Clive Derby-Lewis at the Kgosi Mampuru Prison.

Modise said that he was not aware of the threat against Pistorius. He said prison officials were investigating the stabbing of Derby-Lewis.

"What happened, is strange, we are investigating. He was their cleaner, something must have gone wrong," he said.

Roux said he was pointing it out because Subjee would do something.

On September 12, Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicide on for the Valentine's Day 2013, shooting of Steenkamp in his Pretoria townhouse. The court found him not guilty of murdering Steenkamp.

Pistorius shot Steenkamp through the locked door of the toilet, apparently thinking she was an intruder about to emerge and attack him. She was hit in the hip, arm, and head.

Pistorius was found guilty of firing a pistol under a table at Tasha's restaurant in Johannesburg in January 2013. He was found not guilty of shooting through the open sunroof of a car in Modderfontein on September 30, 2012, and of illegal possession of ammunition.

OSCAR WILL GO TO FACILITY THAT CATERS FOR HIM

Should Oscar Pistorius go to prison, he would go to a facility that caters for his disability, the High Court in Pretoria heard on Thursday.

"He should go to a unit in the correctional facility that is earmarked to deal with a person with his disability," acting national commissioner of correctional services Zach Modise said.

Barry Roux, for Pistorius, was cross-examining Modise in the athlete's sentencing procedures.

Roux said since the conditions in prisons were highlighted as not being equipped for people with disabilities, he had received many calls from department officials.

"Let me disclose to you... I received many calls from wardens telling me that there are no baths [and] shower doors [are] broken...in prisons," Roux said.

Modise responded: "What you put to me is not true. It is interesting that correctional services officials are calling Mr Roux."

He said there were no baths in the normal section of prisons but there were baths in the health facilities.

He denied that shower doors were broken.

On September 12, Pistorius was convicted of culpable homicide for the Valentine's Day 2013, shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his Pretoria townhouse. The court found him not guilty of murdering Steenkamp.

Pistorius shot Steenkamp through the locked door of the toilet, apparently thinking she was an intruder about to emerge and attack him. She was hit in the hip, arm, and head.

Pistorius was also found guilty of firing a pistol under a table at Tasha's restaurant in Johannesburg in January 2013. He was found not guilty of shooting through the open sunroof of a car in Modderfontein on September 30, 2012, and of illegal possession of ammunition.
