Prison visiting committees are to meet once per month. When I was carrying out research for this debate, I contacted some board members and asked when they would meet. I discovered that meetings were held midweek or early on a Saturday morning. I applaud the dedication of committee members. Civil Service rates for travel expenses are not great and I am not sure that I would leave a job midweek to travel to one of those boards, or get up early at the weekend. Committee members should be commended.
