Criminal Justice Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
9:00 pm
Derek McDowell (Labour)
I am sympathetic to Senator Jim Walsh's argument. If a person was coming to the end of his or her sentence, in practical terms, the chances of him or her being moved to a prison are slight. The authorities tend to put them out on temporary release rather than move them to a new environment where they would learn bad habits.
