#OscarTrial Modise: the hospital section has been specifically modified to cater for people with disabilities. BB

I like that Roux isn't flustering Modise 

Modise says hospital section in Kgosi Mamphuru specially fitted for people with disabilities @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

I'm getting pissed of with this,,,,does Roux expect him to be sent to a 4*hotel 

#OscarTrial Modise: can’t say how many baths are in the hospital section, but confirm there are none in the main section. BB

Bloody Hell is this still dragging on???!!

GET ON WITH IT !!

Roux says he's been bombarded by calls from warders telling him there are no baths and shower doors are broken. #OscarPistorius

I am getting mightily angry that they expect OP to be treated like he didn't commit a crime 

Modise: There are shower doors or plastic curtains where I have visited.

Roux suggests he may ask to go to Pretoria Central to verify Modise's claims @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

he can visit OP while he's there 

#OscarTrial Modise agrees that it is the hospital section which is suited for Pistorius, not the main section. BB

Modise: From time to time we receive requests from offenders to be placed in single cells, which the head of the centre should consider.

Roux trying and failing in his cross of this man - he's holding up well as a witness imho 

coffee time 

he is and rightly so...no other prisoners get this consideration 

We break so Modise can get info about single cells in jail. @eNCAnews

applause for M'lady's birthday 

I refuse to clap  

niece on phone now 

oh noes!!  has she been watching? 

interesting pot history of #numbersgangs in SA jails - #OscarPistorius http://www.hrw.org/reports/1994/southafrica/8.htm …

no  and still talking

will read this later 

Morning ladies, am on catch up a bit earlier than usual

Not sure about the SA judicial system but if there is no Jury and the Judge decides on guilt or innocence and sentence, does everyone that is found guilty get to put their case for what sort of sentence they should receive or is it just the 'privileged' lot and the 'underclass' [mainly black people]  just get prison no questions asked?  If it is everyone it must take forever for cases to finish.. but am thinking only 'special' people get this sort of treatment..

Same here and the USA and other places too I bet.. 

We're back after tea-break full of weary talk about whether sentencing can still be fitted in on Friday, or weeks later. #OscarPistorius

think the general consensus is it will take place in November 

Back again. Roux asks who Modise spoke to during tea. #oscartrial Modise says he spoke to Joe Makgoba, area commander and people in court.

Morning Olly,

I'm astounded that a person that shot and killed a defenceless women is being afforded any consideration  

Don't know why Roux is going on about one doctor...in the UK we have none 

as far as I know they don't talk personally their DTs do but the more money you have, the better the DT talk.  If you're a poor black/white person in SA you get what you're given but no different to other places - just like here.  The only person who considers the sentence is M'lady - the jurists job was done at time of his been found guilty, 

Modise says there will be a determination about which inmates need psychological treatment. Not all need #OscarPistorius #OscarTrial

Roux questions 1 doctor and 5 psychologists to 7,000 inmates - Modise says not all people are in need of these services #OscarPistorius MV

plus sessional doctors (locums who would be on call I'm assuming) 

Roux: "How does one get in and out of the hospital section?" Modise: "My Lady, there are ENTRANCES." Giggles from the public gallery.

#PistoriusTrial Roux is asking what the patients in the hospital wing suffer from. Modise doesnt know. Roux says many in jail suffer from TB

another report skanked off the internet 

Is this all a red herring - if other offenders with disabilities are in SA prisons, why are we debating whether sufficient for Oscar?

this is totally pissing me off... really pissing me off 

#PistoriusTrial is now putting S African prisons in the dock. How good are they? How rife is gangsterism? how do they cater for disabled?

Roux asks what health section inmates suffer from - NHLS report on internet shows high rate of tuberculosis in prisons #oscartrial

Modise says with the machines they have they can identify people who are sick, like TB, and they will be isolated #OscarPistorius MV

Roux has obtained a near-guarantee #Pistorius wdnt be held in main prison,is he now seeking agreement hospital section not adequate either?

this is where he's going 

Roux: if you expose a person over a period of time to sick people, what is in place to protect them from infection? @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

so we've moved on to any excuse 

OK Dame M'lady will deal with your mobile phone going off in court  

someone just pointed out that Roux will move on to the prison menu next 

Modise says prisoner can ask for his doctor to visit him in jail. Roux argues this is expensive, time consuming @eNCAnews #OscarTrial

and it doesn't apply to when he's at home...I'm finding this argument very childish
