Travellers' Experiences in Prison and Related Matters: Discussion

I will build on this issue of the number of people because it is very relevant. I will particularly focus on the number of women who are in prison with addictions. Does diversion or treatment for alcohol or drugs in a different type of setting give better long-term results than a conventional prison sentence in either Limerick or the Dóchas Centre? I am purposely challenging because this committee was set up to challenge acceptable norms.
