WE HAVE BEEN taking a 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.

Ireland always seems to do well internationally with short films.
Fairplay on the nomination and best of luck, hopefully it wins overall.
Oh my.
Ireland is famous for its short story writers. It is now famous for its short films
Maybe we are too lazy to make a full length film
Made any films Brian??
I agree. If we had more money we’d probably be making oscar longlisted features too

You can’t upload your film online or else it get’s disqualified from Oscar consideration. It will probably go up sometime next year
