§ Mr. MellorThe staff training film "AIDS Inside" is shown to all new entrant prison officers as part of their initial training. Since the film was introduced in August 1987 governors have been set annual training targets designed to enable all other operational staff to receive a showing of the film. We have recently asked governors to report the progress made towards meeting that objective.
"AIDS Inside and Out", a film for prisoners, was introduced in March 1989. Governors were set a target of showing the film at least once to every willing prisoner expected to be in custody for four weeks or longer. They were asked to include a progress report in their annual report for 1990–91. The target will be reviewed in the light of their reports.
