Oscar Pistorius to Be Released From Prison After Parole Board Meeting

The article, unfortunately, does not define “correctional supervision” under South African law, nor does it mention the proposed length of the supervision.

Correction Supervision could include:
* Be placed under house detention.
* Does community service.
* Seeks employment.
* Takes up and remains in employment.
* Takes part in treatment, development and support programmes.
* Is restricted to one or more magisterial districts.
* Lives at a fixed address.
* Refrains from using alcohol or illegal drugs.
* Refrains from committing a criminal offence.
* Refrains from visiting a particular place.
* Refrains from making contact with a particular person or persons.
* Refrains from threatening a particular person or persons by word or action.
* Is subject to monitoring (this could be electronic monitoring).

Hardly onerous conditions on a multi-millionaire.
Oh, had Phil Spector only known.
