§ Mr. MayhewDuring 1980, 212 girls were released from Bullwood Hall. Of these:
13 per cent. (28 girls) received no visits from family or friends while at Bullwood Hall;
16 per cent. (34 girls) received only one visit from relatives or friends;
29 per cent. (63 girls) received no visits from either a probation officer or a social worker while at Bullwood Hall.
