As Senator Henry stated, there has been a dramatic improvement in the area of prison supervision. The picture she painted of the women's prison she visited is in dramatic contrast to the Dóchas centre that exists now. I have already visited a number of prisons and intend to see them all. No matter how one organises a prison, it is, by no means, as the more credulous readers of some newspapers are persuaded, a holiday camp. By the same token, in relation to such things as education, counselling, diet and occupational training, the transformation which is taking place in our prisons service deserves fair recognition. On the debit side, I confess that when I visited two prisons early in my tenure and discovered the real nature of the padded cells and their use, I was so taken aback by that experience that I immediately decided that they would have to end.
