You can close them down but we believe that it is good to have these correction centres spread around the state at places like Tamworth and Cooma, because inmates can be appropriated close to their families and friends.
Exhaust fans were placed in the construction of that facility, and that was considered adequate for all areas at the end of the day, as we have said, we are prepared to look at that again in relation to what has been alleged in relation to fumes from toxic waste.
