While Pat becomes a hero to the victims who suffered at the hands of Sister Thomas and Father Kelly, she makes several friends when she is met with a warm reception from the other inmates once she has returned from cellular confinement.

Early research ( Bathurst and Jarrett, 1988 ) found that cellular confinement reinforced gravel bases are " equivalent to about twice the thickness of unreinforced gravel bases " and that geocells performed better than single sheet reinforcement schemes ( geotextiles and geogrids ) and were more effective in reducing lateral spreading of infill under loading than conventional reinforced bases.

Today, taller retaining walls are increasingly built as composite gravity walls such as : geosynthetics such as geocell cellular confinement earth retention or with precast facing; gabions ( stacked steel wire baskets filled with rocks ); crib walls ( cells built up log cabin style from precast concrete or timber and filled with granular material ); or soil-nailed walls ( soil reinforced in place with steel and concrete rods ).

Following a meeting between the Commanding Officer of the Light Dragoons ( Lt Col Fair ) and Commanding Officer of 28 Engineer Regiment ( Lt Col MTG Bazeley ) it was decided that a new and easier to protect road would be constructed by the Royal Engineers . 28 Engineer Regiment had used a new road construction material called NeoWeb geosynthetic cellular confinement system on an exercise in the UK prior to deployment and this was considered to be a practical option to reduce cost aggregate and provide a barrier to the implanting of lethal IEDS . Lt Col Bazeley contacted the Sales Director of PRS ( who was at that time on holiday ) and talked him into providing a small amount of Neoweb to trial in Afghan conditions which PRS agreed to do free of charge.
