Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Mr. Noel Waters:
This is likely to happen later this year. We have proposals to put to the Minister which will be the blueprint for the future of Mountjoy many years hence. Mountjoy is 170 years old. This may extend its life by perhaps another 100 years. Our model has changed quite dramatically. We believe that city centre prisons are the best match for our justice system.
