Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

Senator Henry spoke of the tremendous work being done by the Prison Service and I very much appreciated her contribution in that respect. Anybody who visits the Dóchas prison, where many of the State's female offenders are now held, will be very impressed by its facilities. As Senator O'Rourke pointed out, female offenders are not really as difficult to deal with as male offenders, but the facilities that have been put at the disposal of female offenders in the Dóchas prison serve as a tremendous tribute to the work of the prison staff.
