      Broken windows in cells, leaking toilets, torn-up linoleum, mould, and nails protruding through floors were observed during an inspection of Mountjoy Prison last summer, while toilets in common areas were blocked and filthy.

      Prisoners were only being provided with one towel per week, and the quality of their bedding was poor. There were torn duvet covers, ripped mattresses, while some inmates had to fashion pillows from their own clothes.

      Can’t do the time don’t do the crime. Come back to me when we’re worse than El Salvador or Thailand.

       Couldn’t have less sympathy if I tried. Prison isn’t meant to be a nicer than where you live outside of it

      If we treat prisoners like animals it would take exceptional character to rise above that outside of prison. So many prisoners have undiagnosed ADHD and autism. That doesn’t change anything about the need to lock them away from society as a deterrent and for the protection of society. But I think it should make a difference to the quality of their confinement.

      What the fuck has happened to people…

      Responses so far remind me of America only threads.

      “You fucked up, so you should live in squalor and dont deserve to exist”

      Fuckers saying this are prob worse than most in jails.

      I see the usual vile reddit ghouls are out in force today judging by the comments.

      lol any of you talking down on prisoners could be in their exact position one day if you accidentally hit someone with your car

      They’re still people

      And we wonder why we have a problem with violent crime and reoffending.

      Prisons need to be a place of rehabilitation. I know we don’t like the idea of having prisoners living like they’re on a holiday camp and there should be a “punishment” element, but the taking away of the liberty is the punishment already. What you really want is to educate them and set them on a straight road when they come out.

      We need new and bigger prisons.

      People who dont think this is an issue and a cause of longer term issues for the general public are the lowest common denominator mouth breathers of society. You are literally the reason civilization has to move at a snails pace.

      W can’t expect reform without allocating the proper funding to prisons. It’s been proven time and time again that providing prisoners with a standard of living does wonders for reintergration back into society once their sentence is up.

      Celebrating something like this only kicks already vulnerable people further down the ladder and will only lead to more cruelty in one form or another

      Wait. That bathroom looks perfectly fine except it’s dirty. Maybe prisoners should be capable of cleaning their own toilets? I don’t have a cleaner to clean up after me.

      Some of the comments here remind me of why I no longer frequent this sub as often as I used to.

      Regardless of who was convicted for what they are still entitled to a dignified existence. Over crowding is that bad people even remanded on custody are released. Piling inmates in does nothing to help them either, it’s about reform and education which a lot benefit from. To succeed at that they need proper conditions

      This can’t and won’t change unless we build more prisons, yet literally no political party in the country wants to build more prisons.

    18. Gaffers12345 on

      So we build a new super prison, cpo a piece of land off a farmer somewhere along a motorway in the middle of nowhere, an on and off junction. Push the planning through with new legislation stopping nonsense objections to public projects. Or at least quicken up the process to 30 days max.

      New prison elevates stress on the other prisons.

    19. Difficult-Set-3151 on

      Prison is a punishment, despite what people want to say. I don’t feel the need to rise to some high standard when talking about punishing the dredges of society.

      Maybe we can have reasonable standard conditions for low level crimes and first offenders but we should be lowering standards even more for most prisoners.

      Let’s sort hospitals, public nursing homes and schools first. Mountjoy would be at the bottom of my list for extra funding, unless it was to extend it.

    22. B0bLoblawLawBl0g on

      Not surprised. We have a long history of how we treat the so-called “undesirables” in this country – from workhouses to industrial schools, mother and baby homes, and the Magdalen laundries. Meanwhile, figures like Seanie FitzPatrick and PeeWee Flynn largely escaped meaningful consequences, despite the scale of harm their actions caused.

      Sounds like a great opportunity to create a prison branch of fás to get lads improving their own conditions through work and upskilling.

    24. greenstina67 on

      Not surprised. We never follow best international practice for the protection or care of either disadvantaged humans, or of animals. Little America.

    26. fuzzfrog on

      No one cares. These people deserve everything that get. Victims deserve justice and criminals deserve nothing. Too much tax payers money wasted on these criminals.
