Ms Caron McCaffrey:

The benefit of having somebody in a custodial setting is that all the services he or she requires are in one place. There is healthcare, dentistry, psychology, psychiatry, drug treatment, education and work training. The whole gamut of services required to live a really good life is available. The difficulty is that because people have addictions and mental health issues, they can find it quite difficult to navigate the services in the community when released.
