SIXTY-eight inmates in Limerick Prison are locked up in a cell for 21 hours a day – with the majority locked up for the protection of vulnerable prisoners. Figures provided by the Irish Prison Service for the number of prisoners on “restricted regimes” shows that 430 inmates across the Irish prison estate were locked up in their cells for up to 23 hours a day. Of this figure, 394 prisoners were there of their own request. In Limerick, 68 prisoners are locked up for 21 hours in their cells, and 56 of these are aged 25 years and above. Four prisoners aged 18-20 were locked up for this period, and eight in the 21-24 age group were locked up. The number on restricted regimes in Limerick represents 32% of the prison population at Mulgrave Street, which has a capacity for 210 males. Read More. |
