not exactly fresh news but you know how it goes..,

Mr Justice Dermot Kinlen is not only a judger but also our splendid Irish republic's Inspector of Prisons.
He is thus one of the few chaps who not only bangs people up but goes & has a look at them later. A pillar of the establishment.

For those in the loop of Irish civil, human & other rights this last year, the recommendation by Dermot Kinlen to allow inmates in Ireland's penal community conjugal visits & rights was seen as sort of a promising thing

he's back.

However, by md july the best of intentions & attention to a rehabiliative rather than retributive prison community those with the keys drew the line.

There's always a tiny bit of c-o-n-c-e-s-s-i-o-n though, isn't there? ireland's prisoners now get a shower in every cell, which is as far as increased privacy goes. We can not underestimate the number of our state's prisoners who might prefer group showering.

By the way those in the loop of Irish civil, human & other rights will know that there is no charter or bill of rights especially for those presently in our salubrious jails or the promised "Thornton".

& this all the stuff you learn what you obsessively watch big swinging mickey Mc Dowell & his program of "prison reform".
