My next question relates to the cost per prisoner per year, for which various figures are bandied about. What percentage of the cost is attributed to rehabilitation, education and support? I ask the witnesses to give a breakdown of the unit costs per prisoner and an outline of what the Prison Service does to provide an appropriate, wraparound intervention for the individual.
