Ms Caron McCaffrey:

We are also working with AsIAm on having autism-friendly visits. We have created an autism garden in Wheatfield Prison, and we are reworking our visiting box. Training is being provided to staff, and we are looking to replicate that in Mountjoy Prison. Every opportunity we can get to lessen the impact of the environment on people visiting prisons, and people living and working within our prisons, would to the benefit of greater society.
