"National prison policy states that inmates are allowed a television, CD player and personal computer. They can have up to 13 books, 10 magazines and 12 compact discs. Their personal toiletries shall not exceed that which would fill a container 26cmx23cmx12cm. The prison manager may approve the issue of an ashtray or a mug or cutlery. Posters are not permitted on cell walls. Twenty-four percent of inmates are returned to prison within one year of release. "
