# The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union has welcomed a landmark court ruling on the Mangaung Correctional Centre, confirming that workers employed by G4S will transfer to the Department of Correctional Services under labour law. The judgment protects jobs following the state’s takeover of the facility. POPCRU says the decision strengthens worker rights and calls for broader insourcing of privately run prisons, urging government to implement the ruling without delay.
