The closing text states that it was a condition of the girls' release that they never meet again. This is not true. While the court ordered that they be housed in separate prisons and forbidden to communicate, Juliet's release in November 1959 was unconditional, and the only condition on Pauline's release a few weeks later was that she remain on parole in New Zealand for the next two years. However, it appears that the girls never sought each other out after their release, even though they were legally free to do so. Juliet (now called Anne Perry) has stated in interviews that the last time they saw one another was at their sentencing in 1954 and that she herself has no interest in ever reuniting with Pauline.
