The Department advises that prisoners on DPP 3 were not held in separate confinement conditions. All Prisoners who were on the DPP continued to have access to entitlements such as time out of the cell to exercise, medical services, mental health services, mail services, authorised study material, weekly gratuity and spends, phone calls, chaplaincy, social and official visits and visits with their lawyers.

Prisoners on DPP3 were allowed the opportunity to leave their cells as well as to socialise with other prisoners in the unit they were held, following an assessment by the Superintendent. Prisoners subject to DPP3 were held in different categories of units across the prison estate.
