Reason for Variance
No major variance
Lack of
transportation of
victims to parole
board hearings.
Functional training
of new CSPB
members was
attended by CMC
chairperson and
emphasis was
made on the
timely submission
of all applicable
documents to the
CSPB in order
to prevent any
backlogs.
Performance which
is lower than the
target implies
that CSPB’s are
working properly
in compliance
with applicable
prescripts; hence
cases were not
submitted to the
Parole Review
Board.
Department of
Correctional
Services is reliant

of Justice &
Constitutional
Development to
sentence persons
to alternative noncustodial
sentences.
