Oscar Pistorius Sentencing Hearing Live Update.

The South Africa's prisons are notorious for overcrowding, which puts a strain on sanitation, ventilation and medical care for inmates.

Pistorius probably would receive far better treatment than the average prisoner, as he has throughout the judicial process, said Nooshin Erfani-Ghadimi, project coordinator for the Johannesburg-based Wits Justice Project, a civil society group.

Even so, she said, it will not make much difference.


"I don't think anyone with a disability necessarily will be able to be provided for at the moment in a way that ensures that they would have the correct medical treatment, that they have the correct physical structure she said.

Media worker has recommended Oscar Pistorius, who was convicted of the culpable homicide of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, should serve three years correctional supervision, which means house arrestwhere he would do community service and attend reform programmes.

Here are some tweet from the listeners.
