The substance for the discussions has been presented during the session. Trainees should be reminded where to look for information, i.e. in the Compilation of Instruments and around the walls of the training area. Facilitators should be on hand to ensure that the discussions are relevant and therefore helpful. Reporting back is not necessary. Points to be highlighted/suggested areas for discussion: 39. – The need for accurate and current registration of prisoners when they arrive at the prison; 39. – The information, apart from the basic requirement, which would be useful for prison staff to record when a prisoner arrives and the use to which it could be put; 39. – Imaginative use of the time and space available; 39. – Health issues, e.g. the ease with which infectious diseases can spread and the need for preventive action; 39. – The need to protect the weak and the vulnerable from physical, including sexual, attack; 39. – The existence of international standards for holding prisoners means that Governments must abide by them. CASE STUDIES Methodology: A round-table discussion at the front of the room is suggested, with volunteers from among the trainees, together with a facilitator. The discussion and eventual decision-making are observed by all the trainees, who have the opportunity to make their own comments at the end. This format would be repeated with a different group of trainees for subsequent case studies. Points to be highlighted/suggested areas for discussion: CASE STUDY 1 39. – Staff rotas should be organized so that the exercise space that is available can be in use throughout the daylight hours; 39. – There may be other areas of the prison within the security perimeter – therefore not requiring extra staffing commitments – that could be used for prisoner activities, e.g. corridors or courtyards; 39. – Basic prison tasks should be allocated to prisoners where at all possible; 39. – Simple work tasks might be provided by business people in the local community for prisoners to do during the day; 39. – Interest or education classes could be encouraged, with skilled or accomplished prisoners acting as tutors if qualified tutors cannot be provided; 52
