You cannot lock prisoners up for 23hours a day, brutalise them and strip them naked and then say the 5 demands are still in place.<br /><br />Really do not know how big a part if indeed any Sinn Fein played in easing the tension in the jail.<br /><br />According to other sources, nothing has been resolved in the prison. If anything the situation is growing increasingly worse.<br /><br />I remember my da talking about the brutal regime in the Crumlin in the 40's and no-one really giving a damn!

North Ireland has its share of prison problems.Dealing with problems in the prison system should be top priorities,but with the crippling legal aid bill,makes the work all up hill. The Problems, as you know did not happen overnight. Particular problems or needs that prisoners have,Education is but one area,Psychiatric services other that needs concern.<br /> We are human beings have to make comment on some of the substantive issues. We need solution to the ongoing problems.The present system in the north of Ireland is inadequate. If only the walls could talk ,what stories they would tell.Timothy Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626399091447383952noreply@blogger.com
