J.M. Lawson QC Beaufort Chambers Chancery Square Lincoln’s Inn London WC1A 2PP January 24, 1977 Dear Mr. Lawson QC, Re: 2078: Your client, Catherine Clark With regard to your letter of January 15, 77, I sympathize and whilst I do endeavor to act in your client’s best interest, my duty is to the protection of the public and the enforcement of the Law. The Ministry of Social Services and the Home Office require time to consider what they might wish to do with Catherine Clark. No specific time is indicated. I make no criticisms of those departments, but it is a most unhappy thing that with all the resources of this country, there is, at this time, no place suitable for the treatment and secure accommodation of this girl. Therefore I am unable to make the recommendation that I would wish to make. In the case of a child of this age no question of imprisonment arises, I have only the power of detention left. To this end she will have to remain Remanded in Custody at Red Roofs Young Offenders Institution until such a time as she is fit to stand trial, or until the building of the new child psychiatric custody unit in Surrey is completed next year, or until there is a vacancy at the Girls’ Remand Center in Battersea which is only ever short-term in any event.
What do You think about Mountains Of The Moon (2012)?
