Ms Caron McCaffrey:
With regard to cell occupation, 52% of prisoners occupy a single cell and 749 cells accommodate two prisoners. There are a number of prisoners required to share three-man cells. The construction of the remand prison is based on a three-man cell model, so the majority of cells at Cloverhill Prison have three-person occupancies.
