It is clear that Mr. Graham has done an awful lot of work to get to the position he is in today. While much work is being done by everyone involved in the system, there are clearly a large number of people who went to prison at the same time he did who did not make that progress. Many people said in their contributions that there has to be a commitment on behalf of the prisoner to make an effort and try to change. For those who do not, who are unable to do so or do not have the capacity, what additional level of assistance is needed to ensure a higher number of prisoners are able to make that transition?
