I thank the witnesses for their very comprehensive presentation. I thank the service for its great work. What happens with somebody who is serving a life sentence in prison?
What is the procedure in terms of the Probation Service for when they are ready to be released? I simply want to find out the way that process works. Is training provided for probation officers throughout the country on how to deal with people with mental health issues and addiction?
