The template below outlines a typical structured day for two streams of prisoners for a 15 hour unlock weekday, and shows the core elements of the structured day.

Other (non-core) programmes and activities, and activities specific to each prisoner such as medical, social work, psychologist, psychiatrist, PARS, probation and parole visits are superimposed on this timetable. The non-core programmes and activities and some of the visits take place in the evenings. Other visits require taking prisoners out of structured activities.
