What is not mentioned is that some prisoners who have university degrees<br />

are completing higher degrees via correspondence, something that is<br />

welcomed, but seems to be on the chopping block by Adelaide bureaucrats<br />

who have advised such options will terminate within the next year or so.<br />

Noel heads the Library and is engaged in further studies, as is Peter who<br />

produces Cadell’s monthly newsletter. Peter came into the prison system<br />

while a PhD student in mathematics at the University of Adelaide. The<br />

newsletter enables me to mention the following information about prisoners<br />

who have attended or are attending courses to further their personal and<br />

professional development.<br />

He did make me the ‘poster boy’ of his November 2009 edition, as<br />

mentioned earlier, and from that I gathered his newsletter is a publication<br />

of record, which is always good. While within the penal system I did not<br />

come across a general prison newspaper for South Australia or for Australia<br />

as is the case in the Great Britain where a national prisoners paper contains<br />

useful information concerning matters on penal servitude.<br />

In the November 2009 edition Peter features on the front page:<br />

Australia.<br />
