Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

General Scheme of the Inspection of Places of Detention Bill 2022: Discussion

Dr. Pauline Conroy:

There would be prisoners who would complain that their treatment for an infraction was unfair. We would discuss the prisoner's view and sometimes that could be reversed or inquired into. What is really crucial is that when we go back to prisoners, they are extremely appreciative that somebody listened and actually took a step to exercise the system that was prevailing in the prison.
