Housing provided for those homeless offenders who are remanded in custody.

CONT

The first bail hostel was established with the financial backing of a private citizen and operated by the Salvation Army. The hostel would accept only first-time offenders. The rationale for operating such hostels was that it was felt that those who were remanded in custody because of their lack of a home were punished more than those who had such accommodation.
