Oscar Pistorius moved to prison with better disability facilities

Oscar Pistorius has been moved at his request to a prison that is better able to accommodate disabled offenders, the South African government has said.

The Department of Correctional Services said that the former Paralympic champion was transferred from Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria to the nearby Atteridgeville Correctional Centre, which recently installed bath tubs during upgrades for disabled criminals.
