Rehabilitative Opportunities within the Prison System: Discussion
Lynn Ruane (Independent) | Oireachtas source
Brilliant. I thank Ms McCreery. Turning to Ms Gavin, and to draw on her experience regarding some of the gaps that exist in the system, and I refer to issues such as vacancies, one major area that stands out for me is the lack of digital literacy among people leaving prison. Does Ms Gavin think we must address this gap in the prison system by teaching people these skills? When people come out of prison, they will find that most bills are now paid online and almost everything else is online as well, yet we are not introducing this type of training. From her experience, does Ms Gavin think we should be looking to a more digitalised prison system?
