Prisons issues: paper presented by the British government

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This submission by the British government to the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures focuses on the issue of political prisoners in Northern Ireland. It highlights the importance of prisons issues to the community, the flexibility of the government and prison service in response to changing circumstances, and the accessibility of the prison authorities to various interests. It also covers details about the prison regime, including liberal and progressive schemes for home leave and temporary release. The document addresses life sentence prisoners, changes in release mechanisms, transfers of prisoners within the UK, repatriation of prisoners, and concludes with the Secretary of State's stance on potential future developments in the prison system.
