In each instance the reports go through, difficulties are identified with education and training for protection prisoners, in particular, and access to that. I appreciate the point Ms McCaffrey made about self-declaration, but the State is paying for these prisoners to be in prison and it is part of the prison rules, and of the Nelson Mandela Rules, that people should have access to education and training. That is a key part of the strategy.
