Dr. Pauline Conroy:

I thank the Vice Chair. One of the pieces of information perhaps missing from the Bill is what standard would be used to measure, inspect and monitor a scenario or situation. For us it is clear as we are using the prison rules, which are a statutory instrument. The prison rules guide us as to what to look for and even to ask prisoners whether they are aware of their entitlements to certain information, special diets, particular clothes or the reasons for the stopping of a visit from a family member. Most of what the prisoners ask for is very small. They ask for so little.
