82A: Types of permitted accommodation

You could also call this:

"Where prisoners can live in jail"

Illustration for Corrections Act 2004

If you are a prisoner, you can be accommodated in different types of rooms. You might be in a cell all by yourself, or you might share a cell with others. You could also be in a self-care unit, as long as there are no rules in the Corrections Act 2004 or other regulations that say you cannot be in one of these types of accommodation.
