Committees to which Senator Terry referred are appointed under the 1925 order. They meet on a monthly or bi-monthly basis and must have a minimum of six and a maximum of 12 members. They are an important plank and play an important role in the operation of our custodial system. They hear prisoners' complaints, report to the board, and assist in the selection of books for the libraries, which is important for the rehabilitation of prisoners. They also have powers to grant privileges, providing it does not compromise security. They have a special responsibility – this is referred to in the order – for prisoners who are about to be discharged in order to avoid a relapse into crime. Some of them take that role particularly seriously. They are involved in organising lectures and addresses for prisoners. They may give extra visitor rights to certain prisoners and they make an annual report to the Minister. This is important because it focuses on accommodation, catering, medicine, educational welfare and recreational facilities.
