About 100 inmates at Dublin's Mountjoy Jail were locked in their cells recently after dumping the contents of their toilet buckets onto officers in a protest over tightened security measures. The prisoners on an upper-floor wing emptied the buckets over a balcony after being freed for breakfast. They were opposing a new policy, introduced last week that visitors had to provide photo identification. Mountjoy officials defended the rule as necessary to reduce visits by drug dealers, who sometimes arrive in place of family members and pressure inmates into taking marijuana, heroin and amphetamines for distribution within the jail. |
