Laptop ban in Prison violates education rights
The Constitutional Court has ruled that the blanket ban on personal laptops in prison cells is unlawful and violates the constitutional right to further education.
The judgment follows a challenge by inmate Mbalenhle Ntuli, who argued that the Department of Correctional Services’ policy prevented him from studying.
The Court found that the state has a duty to remove barriers to education, not create them.
