# Correctional Services minister Pieter Groenewald says he is committed to building a balanced, fair, and effective parole system. The department began a two-day National Parole Review Summit at Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre in Pretoria on Monday. Last year, 209 parolees committed murder, and more than 330 committed rape. Groenewald says some of the problems include overcrowding, the composition of the parole board, and rehabilitation at the facilities:
