General Scheme of the Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Saoirse Brady:

It has gone down in terms of that but what we do see are fewer physical interventions from prison officers and we do not know why. I think there is merit in looking into that further but the evidence from Britain would certainly say that, and this is from the prison authorities themselves, there has been no evidence to suggest this reduces violence in prison.
