Episode Title: Universities Of Crime
Broadcast date: 28 July 2009

In South Africa, an extraordinary number of ex-prisoners commit crimes within months of leaving jail, only to land up behind bars again. All too often the re-offenders graduate from lesser crimes to more serious ones.

Tonight 3rd Degree explores the lives of young repeat offenders from Alexandra township and Kliptown in Johannesburg . The criminal mind is exposed as Bongani reveals how his “career” progressed from petty crime to breaking and entering , to armed robbery. One of his victims was paralysed in an attack and is now confined to a wheelchair for life.

The show asks: what drives these young men to repeatedly put their futures at risk? Is prison nothing more than a university of crime? What can be done to keep criminals out of prison and reintegrate them back into society as law abiding citizens?



3rd Degree is on e.tv and the eNews Channel (DStv Channel 403) on Tuesday's at 21h30.
