Correctional Services Officer Urges Community Work for Pistorius Instead of Incarceration

Correctional services officer Joel Maringa has told the court on Monday that South African amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius should be subjected to three years of community work instead of incarceration.
"Basically, the issue here is that not only retribution is considered when sentencing. We are also looking at the issue of reforming the accused in the interests of society as well. For the wrong that he has done, you will be compensating the society by doing community service," Maringa told the court.
