He can be considered for the equivalent of Parole in 10 months ie after serving 1/6th of the sentence. |

I think the good thing that might come out of this whole thing is that S.A. prisons may be cleaned up somewhat - they are horrendous places where torture and beatings take place - mostly on the dirt poor South Africans - a high profile inmate may change things for the better - let's hope so |

It will be interesting to see how their prison service cope with his disability - in the wrong hands, prosthetics could easily be considered as weapons. |

certainly isn't Sue, but her parents seem satisfied - the sports people have said that he will never ever be allowed to compete in athletics again when he is relesed |
