We have been taking an look inside the walls of Mountjoy Prison over the past week, speaking to prison officers about their role in the institution.
TheJournal.ie was also given a quick look inside a prisoner’s cell, with their permission.
This is a standard cell which any class of prisoner could be placed in.
It consists of a small desk and chair, a bed, heating, a simple TV, a noticeboard, and in-cell sanitation - ‘slopping out’ came to an end in Mountjoy in 2013.
Take a look at the video above for a quick tour.

Most of the prison doesn't have "in cell sanitation" only one wing does. Shame to see screws going on like a toilet in a cell is great progress.

@zebbleganubi723 6 жыл бұрын

whats the deal with the rest of cells? everybody has to use a bucket or is there some shared toilets somewhere?

@davidian2.024 6 жыл бұрын

zebble ganubi the whole jail was slop out 2 and sometimes 3 men cells all share a bucket. D wing is the only wing with plumbing to the cells now...I could be wrong in 2018 tho.

@revenue09 5 жыл бұрын

Every cell is single man now and all have toilets and the way you seen it, only this cell is in very good condition, all depends on the person in the cell how its kept

All prisons are bad including mountjoy but compared to other prisons around the world like black dolphin in russia 🇷🇺 or even some American prisons like guantanamo bay, mountjoy is a rundown holiday camp.
