The Hon. TONY KELLY: Last week I had the pleasure of addressing the annual general meeting of the Prisoners Aid Conference. In fact, it was the organisation’s 104th annual conference. Prisoners Aid is a splendid example of a small community organisation providing quality services in a highly effective manner. It has been at the forefront of service delivery for inmates in correctional centres in New South Wales for over 100 years. The association is honoured to have as its patron Her Excellency Governor Marie Bashir. I am also pleased that the New South Wales Government has been able to assist that organisation to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars a year. The association is also a charity and, as such, receives donations from the general community to provide emergency financial assistance to families of inmates and to people recently released from custody. Its main role is to collect and store property of inmates until their release and to assist inmates and their families wit
