HC Deb 05 May 1983 vol 42 c119W
16. Sir Anthony Meyer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what evaluation he has so far made of the experimental short, sharp shock regime in selected detention centres.

Mr. Mellor

A programme to evaluate the tougher regimes pilot project in four detention centres is proceeding, but the results will not be available until later this year. We believe that the centres are running well, and that the regime is genuinely brisk and demanding.
