Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons

9:00 am

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

Yes. We have a school operating in each of our prisons. Those schools are vibrant centres of education. We have 220 whole-time equivalent teachers operating across our 12 prisons providing educational services. Those services are primarily based on an adult literacy model and focus on literacy, but there is a broad range of additional services across the prison system, including librarian services.
