"He's behaving himself very well," Acting National Commissioner of Correctional Services Zach Modise told The Associated Press. "He hasn't given us any problems." Yet three months after he leaves Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria, likely for the comfort of his uncle's mansion, the double-amputee Olympic athlete will again face the possibility of a murder conviction and could be sent back to jail - this time for a minimum of 15 years. Pistorius was acquitted of murder and found guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, last year for shooting Steenkamp through a toilet door in his home.
