Dr. Helen Kehoe:

I know that our friends in the Prison Officers Association will talk more broadly about the code of conduct and the role of staff but in that regard, we would see that there is that broader issue around the culture within the Prison Service. From our point of view there is a very obvious role there for a culture committee within this new body so that the staff can also feed into that. This is about everyone in the prison, not just the prisoners but also the staff and how they can feed into that system more broadly.
