How do we balance their real, raw stories against the comment that prison is the ideal environment for people to get proper rehabilitation, particularly if rehabilitation is only now becoming a priority in the Prison Service in the context of the budgetary allocation? Does Mr. Donnellan think the current budgetary allocation is sufficient, given that the training unit in Mountjoy is closing? Are we doing our best, in terms of the current allocations, to provide rehabilitation for prisoners?
