The new agreement with NSW will specify that conditions and standards of treatment afforded to ACT prisoners will be consistent with those laid down in "Standard Guidelines for Corrections in Australia" and the draft NSW Standards for Management of Correctional Centres.

(5) The priority to be given to the establishment of a

now being compiled to put the recommendations and

community views forward for Government consideration.
