Mr. Warren Graham:

I suppose they can be criminogenic. It falls on personal responsibility and choice. The opportunities for rehabilitation are there, but they are limited. Ms McCaffrey said that the Prison Service's mission was unlocking potential, but not everyone gets the opportunity or equal access to engage in some programmes to unlock that potential. It is not a straight-cut matter. Very few people will have reached where I am today and, unfortunately, very few people will follow behind me. It has to do with the choices they make. There are a number of factors. For example, the reputations they come to jail with have a major impact on them over the course of their sentences and the duration of their lives. Given the opportunity to change, they often do, but they are still perceived the same way as when they went to prison. That is a big problem.
