There is no prisoners' union.
I may have used the wrong phrase but there is a prisoners' association which purports to represent prisoners. I understand that they would seek a meeting with the Minister to discuss some grievances. Whatever their title may be, would the Minister agree to meet a small deputation?
I think the Minister is not prepared to give any recognition to a small group of prisoners who, acting in concert in intimidating other prisoners, are attempting to disrupt the prison system.
