A description of the Pineview program was given in the Department for Community Welfare's annual report in 1984 (quoted in Signposts 2004, p.427): 'the most difficult offenders referred to Nyandi take part in the long stay Pineview Programme. Following her release from Pineview, a girl was evaluated for 180 days in the community. This "opportunity time" gave the girls a chance to change their behaviours to avoid re-admission. One third of those girls discharged from Pineview in 1984 committed no further offences during that opportunity time'.
