  • We have been taking an look inside the walls of Mountjoy Prison over the past week, speaking to prison officers about their role in the institution.
    TheJournal.ie was also given a quick look inside a prisoner’s cell, with their permission.
    This is a standard cell which any class of prisoner could be placed in.
    It consists of a small desk and chair, a bed, heating, a simple TV, a noticeboard, and in-cell sanitation - ‘slopping out’ came to an end in Mountjoy in 2013.
    Take a look at the video above for a quick tour.

      cookie gaming what is a TV license? Is that like pirating movies or something?

    All prisons are bad including mountjoy but compared to other prisons around the world like black dolphin in russia 🇷🇺 or even some American prisons like guantanamo bay, mountjoy is a rundown holiday camp.

    Most of the prison doesn't have "in cell sanitation" only one wing does. Shame to see screws going on like a toilet in a cell is great progress.

      zebble ganubi the whole jail was slop out 2 and sometimes 3 men cells all share a bucket. D wing is the only wing with plumbing to the cells now...I could be wrong in 2018 tho.

      Get married
      Have kids
      A car
      A holiday in the summer
