| Article 16-Social experimentation and imprisonment | ||
| 16.1 | Social experimentation and imprisonment | |
| History has shown that correctional facilities have been a favourite focus of individuals seeking social and moral change as well as a means of proving certain social experimentation. |
||
| While reforms can provide an important and necessary improvement in the management of correctional facilities, a system that is vulnerable to intervention and change by political, religious and other social forces can never be optimum. |
||
| Therefore, by this code all decisions relating to correctional system policies must be free from open influence of political, religious, moral and social experimentation. Instead, all policies are required to be based on the intentions of the constitution of African Union and the guidelines set forth therein. |
