in illegal drug dealing. Before stronger ties are encouraged, it is essential to discover whether this is the case; 39. – There are bullies in all parts of society and there are victims everywhere, and there are also many who fall between the two groups. It is very difficult for prison staff to stay on top of this problem because, typically, the bullied are too afraid to report it; 39. – The institution should have a policy on bullying which is clearly publicized and thoroughly understood by staff and prisoners alike; 39. – Staff working with young prisoners should be very visible around the institution and very involved with the daily activities. If this is not the case, it is very easy for virtual “no-go” areas to develop. These are where bullying and intimidation occur; 39. – If a bully is discovered, the staff must invoke the policy immediately. It is the bullies who should be moved, not the bullied. CASE STUDY Methodology: A round-table discussion is suggested, with trainees discussing the case alongside suitably experienced staff from the training team. It is useful to allow the opportunity for comment from the floor after the study is completed. Points to be highlighted/suggested areas for discussion: 39. – The instruments require that juveniles who are held in prison have an extensive programme of education and activity for the express purpose of rehabilitation into the community; 39. – In order to set this in motion, a period of staff selection and training for the job is recommended; 39. – The drug problem amongst these youngsters must be dealt with first, otherwise all attempts to rehabilitate may well founder; 39. – Vocational courses are recommended, with emphasis on education provision, to enable this to take place; 39. – Once the pattern has been established within the unit it is likely that education and cultural activities can be broadened in order to give the juveniles a view of the world rather broader than their current one. 146
