5.2 The medium security centre will accommodate 3 000 male offenders, serving sentences of 5 to 40 years. The centre comprises three 1 000- bed housing units. Talks are underway to have one of the 1 000-bed units accommodate female offenders, and the other, male juvenile offenders. At the time of the visit the Centre accommodated 237 male offenders in a single cell block. These inmates were transferred as part of a trial-run to determine the prison's readiness to start filling and running the centre.
