Mr. Eddie Mullins:

I concur with what Ms McCaffrey said. I agree that, on a practical level, if we can concentrate rehabilitation services in a prison that is more conducive to that, we should do that. I am thinking of Wheatfield Prison, for example, where I recently finished working. Its design is far more suitable than other prisons for rehabilitation programmes and work training skills, that is, the more practical skills. Mountjoy Prison is much more confined and the challenges are slightly different. It is a more chaotic prison, in many ways, and is perhaps better suited to a greater concentration on drug treatment programmes and mental health programmes, which do not require large facilities. It is more about people interacting than it is about large physical workshops. Our prisoner progression and flow plan will assist us in concentrating the resources where they are best suited and most needed.
